Cashed in my chips at a Blackjack table, turned around, and was face-to-face with Jerry Springer who just did a show.  He was very cool.  Just said "you did good, very happy for you".

Met Zach Parise, Brian Gionta and Jay Pandolfo before a Dane Cook (yes- He's that terrible) show at the Brick City Bar in Grill in Newark.

Really cool guys, but I think most NHL players are compared to players in the NFL or NBA.

TheGoldenGoose · Answer

Had season tickets to the NHL Whalers and Mark Johnson (pengs, whalers), used to stewed with us before gametime.

Slobbasaurus · Answer

That still blows my mind that they re-locate a team from a hockey town of Hartford to North Carolina.  The NHL stumps me.  Vegas has a team but Quebec City doesn&#x27;t.  At least the Jets are back in Winnepeg, but word is a new expansion team is coming to Seattle.

NHL Whaler enforcer Gordie Roberts was another one with a short fuse. I was always the guy entrusted to put a bug in his ear, All I had to do was buy him a drink and set him loose with fire in his eyes LMAO!!!

When I was a stupid teenager, I had a nice talk with Jon "Bowzer" Bauman from Sha-Na-Na at a charity festival/event that was in L.A. (I think his son or something was attending the school at the time) seemed like a nice enough guy.....

Also, around the same time I was working at a service station (showing my age a little) and (I'll have to alter his name because of the Covers police) D!ck Van Patten drove in in a brand new Cadillac - Let's just say he lived up to his first name.....

Also, Michael Anthony from Van Halen lived up my street (in the gated off part) circa 1986 - - I remember my brother & I snuck behind the gates, rang the doorbell, and his wife answered. She was like "Michael!!! Some kid's want your autograph!!!" And he gave it to us!!!

Just from living in Southern California, So many 'C', 'D', 'F' - Listers, I can't name them all here - those were just the coolest stories.....

Good Topic!

GimmeMoneyNow · Answer

Too funny, my older sister went there. And here I thought everyone on here was from back East or Canada.....Out of respect for my sister &amp; your daughter, we won&#x27;t go into the obvious "nickname" we all had for that all-girl&#x27;s Catholic school - but you can only imagine with a name like "Lucy&#x27;s".Anyways - I lost many a ball down Grand Ave. We had a rule - if you couldn&#x27;t see it past Sierra Madre, it was gone.....Good Times.....

We were in the museun of natural history in ny in the mid 90&#x27;s. It was a weekday with small crowds. While in a room looking at stuff with my 4 and 6 year old kids in walks this entourage with a ny times reporter who asks me if he could take my kids picture with "him". Me being clueless didnt know who he was.Well, my kids picture was taken by the ny times reporter and the Dalai Lama. Stood between them with 1 hand on each little kids shoulder. I didn&#x27;t have a camera but the reporter told me he send me a few pictures...... which never came. person!

Every November, I do a baseball missions trip in the Dominican Republic.  During clinics, I noticed in the outfield, Mariano Rivera in a catchers&#x27; squat, catching some kids &amp; giving instruction.  I&#x27;ve caught for 19 yrs at various levels.  I approached him and said, "hey, I can do this", he&#x27;s like, "you sure", I&#x27;m like, "yeah".  He proceeds to go out to the mound and gives instruction while throwing to me.  He wasn&#x27;t going all out, (mid 70&#x27;s mph) but I did get a good look at the cutter.  Lasted about 15-20 pitches, and I knew to savor every moment.

In my 20&#x27;s and 30&#x27;s I met hundreds,,,  mostly athletes.   But the one I cant remember is the most unique.    When I was about 9 months old my mom went to see Robert Kennedy on the campaign trail in Medford OR.   She got up close enough to have him pat me on the head and shake hands with her....    Then he was killed the next week.
