Honestly I have met a ton of athletes, when I was much younger I attended many baseball card show and got authographs and had a few meet and greets, but too many to list. So I put a couple highlights up.

I met Jerry Springer in a Bennigans, he lives here in Sarasota Florida. He let me by him and his wife a drink and we talked for about 15 minutes.

I also met Ken Griffey Jr here in Sarasota when he was here for Reds Spring training. I was out a local gentlemans club years ago and he was there with a couple of friends. My friends and I were bud's with the owner at the time so we got in free, free drinks et cetera, and Griffey wasnt feeling any love so he invited our group over to hang with him, and we did for the rest of the night.

My favorite though was when I went to a Ziggy Marley concert a couple years ago, and my girl at the time and I arrived early, and we saw Ziggy and a couple of his crew hanging out from the the venue, but no one else knew. So we went up and started to talking and he let us take some pics, but then Half jokingly, because I wasnt sure what he would say I pulled out a joint I had and asked if he wanted to 'Catch a Fire' haha and he said 'Yah Mon!' So we went into his bus which was parked about 50 feet away and blazed up for about an hour, and then I got to see him perform after that, it was pretty awesome!

I have seen other celebritys in passing, when I was in high school I could swear that Tom Selleck came through the McDonalds drive-thru haha, but these are the only real 'Encouters' I have had.

James Taylor, Jackson Brown, some Moody Blues members, Partied with Ides of March, boy, was I young with that one! A few more when my parents had a formal gathering, just a child,
so I was allowed to say " Hello " then off to bed. I snuck out of my room to sit on the stairs. I remember a funny smell, ( know it well now. lol ), and they all got really drunk!
