I used to make fun of a professional baseball player when he was young telling him he would never make the pros since that is all he talked about as a kid. He would always tell our grandpa he was going to be a pitcher for the Reds. He ended up striking out 20 players in one game as a rookie. He sent me a hand written letter asking how I liked him now.  F U Kerry Wood!!! lol. 

I shook Andre the Giant hand when I was a little kid

A friend of mine was the home plate umpire that day

I once shot 2 rabbits with one shot. It was in heavy brush and initially I thought I blew him in two because one went left and one went right.

Morgan Fairchild and I played the dollars slots for about a hour at the same machine.  She was very nice, smelled wonderful and pleasant conversation Between us we won 800.00 we ordered drinks, gave a nice tip, share the winning.  I think she used me, but it was great :)

 

Similar experience. I "babysat" Hanford Dixon of the Browns at the dollar slots up at the Hard Rock Rocksino a few years ago. He sat right next to me, drunk off his ass, and left his cell phone to go to the bathroom. I was thinking "I wonder if he has Bernie & Minnifield on speed dial?" Was so drunk he walked past where we were sitting 3x's before I finally got up, grabbed him, and directed him back to his seat.

Also pitched a perfect game in high school with 17 K's. Went 4 for 6 with 12 RBI's that same game. Almost hit two Grand Slam's in the first inning.

Golfed with a former Vice President of the United States.  Ate dinner with his wife and parents.

1999 Having lunch at the holiday inn off rockside road with a customer.  Walking out to my car, I see the older big guy coming out of the side door. He is having difficulty walking, keep his balance, fell against two park cars. He disappeared, he when down I ran over, he was red faced, sweating, slurred speech and smelled like booze at 1:00 in the afternoon on a hot summer day. There was more problem than being drunk he was having a seizure. I saw a cook coming out of the kitchen, order him get me pitcher of water a wet towels NOW!. My voice can be very demanding.  I poured the water over him, keep his head on my lap, wrapped his neck with the towels, took some vitals. Ambulance showed up in 15 minute he was on his feet, wanting to get to his car. I didnt know who he was until the medics showed up and got his name. I gave the medics the vitals and walked away. Three day later Lou Groza agent contacted me ( how he got my name and business number I don’t know) Lou was doing well and wanted to send my wife and I to dinner at Swingo.  I told the agent to give the money to Lou charity, I was honored to know I had helped a legend. Lou passed away a year later.

Winning the thread so far

I had Joe sign an autograph baseball for me that I’ll pass along to my son when I’m gone.

Hit a guy in the ass with a golf ball  

I've done that!  Except it was my friend, at the golf range....and was unintentional.

Did I mention I really suck at golf?  Pretty extraordinary shot, actually :)

If we're reliving sports glory, in Middle School baseball I turned a solo triple play and hit 2 HRs in a game.
