Also used to work at a car dealership when I was in high school.  Owner was an old high school buddy of my dad, guy new everyone.  Had a picture in his office with his arm around Chretien (Canada Prime Minister) when he was in office.  Another one of him and Jordan.  Tons of Athelte coming and going but Canseco was there a lot, always showed up with two chicks and a ton of blow.  Don't think that is news though.

I was in Coconut Grove after graduation partying, and had my eyes locked on this Cuban/American looking chick while I was walking.  I was on the sidewalk edge by the street trying to go around the crowd when i walked into Antrell Rolle and almost plowed him over. I stopped to apologize and when i saw his supporting cast and his earrings realized he was somebody. After a second i realized who he was, and i apologized and pointed out the girl that i had to go after and he was alot cooler than your average dickhead is at a bar when you bump into him. pretty much just laughed about it, but the whole time i'm thinking to myself "how is this guy gonna tackle RB's in the NFL?"

Well, when Brett Favre was a Falcon that whole one year in the early nineties, he was known for his carousing in the Buckhead nightlife scene. My sister's best friend worked at the old Three Dollar Cafe on Pharr Road (I know this is only germane to those who've lived in ATL) and Brett used to come in all the time and hit on her, and for good reason, she's incredibly hot (pre-MILF days, of course).

Anyway, one night, she went back to his apartment and they started making out, but she stopped when she saw all the pictures of his daughter and wife (actually, he may have just been engaged at the time--they had the kid several years before actually marrying). She had a change of heart and left, leaving Brett dumbstruck.

Mike Schmidt is the biggest asshole on the plant.

Randy Wolf told me that Pat Burrell was caught with another man in Clearwater (Spring Training).

Shaq is the fuckin man (gave me a $500 tip)

My friend went to a wishy wash with an Ottawa Senator (his last name starts with a C).

Gary Barbera is a huge coc head but tips well.

I just saved a whole bunch of money on my car insurance.

Billy Mayfair is a genuinely nice guy.  He stopped and had a 5 minute conversation with me in a parking lot in Hilton Head.  Then again, he might have just been happy that someone recognized him

     I live about 30 minutes or so from one of the most incredible athletes of the world, Lebron James.  I heard that he was out somethime not too long ago and ran a bill up in a restaurant of well over $150 and tipped the waiter like $5.  I'm not positive on these amounts but it was something absurd like that.  How can you do that when you have more money than God?

My grandmother was a huge baseball fan, we used to watch the Yankee games together when I stayed with her over the summer as a teenager. She also used to take me to a lot of sports card shows to get autographs. One particular show we met Pete Rose (he was her favorite player), he signed my ball and talked baseball with my grandmother for at least 20 minutes. He was genuinely interested in what she was saying and they had a great conversation. Then, he posed with us for a picture and gave me a couple more autographs on the house!

Oh, and I remember Hank Aaron being a fucking prick at one of the shows, he seemed annoyed that he had to sign autographs when were paying a good amount for it.

Yep, Lebron James is one cheap motherfucker. Just like Amare Stoudamire and Michael Jordan, to name a few. And to think people continue to support these pricks.

Orel Hershiser & Jeff Kent love my cheeseburgers. I used to cater for the SF Giants back in the day.
 
Luis Gonzales is the coolest athlete on the planet. Signs auto's & shakes hands everywhere he goes & never acts bothered.
 
Mookie Blaylock is a pretty good golfer, got paired up with him once in San Ramon, Ca. when he was with the Warriors. He bought me a beer

I also went to High School w/ Kristi Yamaguchi but didn't know her personally. I guess she turned out alright.
 
Before they were Pearl Jam...the band's name was to be Mookie Blaylock. They were obviously forced to change it.
