Reading the Frank Deford thread got me thinking about this subject. For me, Michael Jordan. I was in the process of moving from Chicago back to New York. While waiting to board the plane the gate agent says, "don't look now, it's MJ over there". Naturally, I turned to look and it was him. We boarded the plane, and once it was in the air, there was a steady stream of people walking up to first class, asking for autographs and pictures. He was headed to NYC for the finals of the US Open. It was Labor Day weekend. When we landed, I was standing near him in baggage claim. A lady walked up to him and asked for an autograph. He turned to her and snapped NO! I then figured what the hell, walked up to him and told him good luck in the upcoming season. He shook my hand ( he has massive hands) and thanked me. He then went on to win his first championship that season.
Anyone here meet a President or the Pope?

Was he trying to sell you his 2006 Honda Accord? I originally mistook him for Rocky Dennis Embarrassing, to say the least. He just took it in stride. Good guy, that Clint Howard.

I met then-President Reagan and Nancy. Also all the Cardinals from Cooke through Egan. George Steinbrenner, The Mick, Thurman Munson and Bobby Murcer.
Best ones though were meeting Phoebe Cates and Uma Thurman back in the 80s/90s. Both were as gorgeous as you could imagine. Phoebe rendered me speechless in her tight jodhpurs. Her smile could cut you off at the knees. Stunning.

I once took a piss right next to Al Roker.
Not the skinny Al Roker either, the fat Al Roker.
In fact, he was so fat, that when he stepped up to the urinal next to me, his fat ass actually nudged me to the side ever so slightly.
(I may or may not have seen him coming and picked the center urinal in the row of three to make sure he peed next to me.....I may have done that)

Same trip I held the door for Shaq as I was going into Gibsons and he was coming out. Life's biggest regret is I sat at the same table as Ginger Lynn at the AVN awards in Vegas in the early 80s. Got the vibe she wanted to fuck me after the show and I chickened out and left early. Yeah, go ahead, call me a faggot. I deserve it for that one.
