I thought you just being on this board was your claim to fame.

Oh yeah. Tom Cruise was my brush with fame.  I once saw Hugh Grant crossing the street in NY and said "Hey Hugh" which sounds a lot like "Hey you!".  He totally ignored me.  Same thing with Martina Hingas with her bodyguards walking in NYC after being ousted from the NY Open in tennis.  That's about it.

Wait!  Ate at Rusty Staub's restaurant in NYC and he stopped at the table to say hi.  Seemed like a really nice guy.

Hung with sweet Lou Piniella at his bar/restaurant at a mall in NJ.  Also seemed like a regular guy.  Yeah, that's about it.  Unless I remember a few more!

Kind of pissed that I missed his 3 hit outburst but not so pissed when I remind myself that I went to go see the new Top Gun movie and how awesome it was.

Maverick>Adley Rutschman 

I saw it in 4DX. Moving seats, wind, mist, snow..

It was awesome

I also saw the Top Gun movie tonight.  It was good, but Adley has a higher ceiling with no chance of going below the hard deck.

My one criticism of the movie: the supporting actors had such short dialogue.  I don't think Goose's kid ever spoke more than one sentence at a time.

Adley is going to rip sh*t up moving forward.

As a kid, I got Muhammed Ali’s autograph while he was eating in the same restaurant we were in, and I got to shake Ted Williams’ hand in the dugout when he was manager of the Washington Senators after I was named “honorary batboy” for one game by getting my name picked out of a drum.   I was 13 at the time, and as far as I was concerned, I shook hands with a God.   

When I was 12, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.  His son enrolled at my junior high school that fall, and my friend and I were serving as hall guides at parent/teacher night when Armstrong showed up.  My friend spotted him, walked down the hall, “accidentally” bumped into him and came back to me and exclaimed, “I touched a man who touched the moon!”   Pretty cool, when you think about it.

You should have slugged your friend.  That way you could have punched a guy who touched a man who touched the moon.  Pretty cool, when you think about it.

Almost as if you punched the moon yourself and who hasn't wanted to punch the moon at some point?

Or, I could just punch you.

I met Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day. Not sure if he is related to Neil.He was eating lunch before a gig in the area  I asked him if he wrote Anerican Idiot about me.

I met Brooks Robinson twice (got his autograph both times) Rod Carew twice, Paul Blair, Richie Hebner, Bill Singer, Len Sakata, Floyd Raford and Aretha Franklin, Bob Denver (of Gilligan's Island fame) and Joyce DeWitt.  (Also, the Dali Lama.  He said upon my death I would achieve instant enlightenment so I've got that going for me.

Joyce DeWitt was completely random.  I live in Charleston, WV... not exactly a metropolis.  Walked in to a restaurant right after work with my girlfriend a few years ago and there she was sitting at the bar with a friend.  My girlfriend recognized her immediately and desperately wanted a picture.  So, me being me, I went up and asked and she said "of course."  Her friend was living in Charleston and Joyce made a detour to see her.

    • Well the NFL Rams franchise deserves some mention as they started in Cleveland in 1937, moved to LA in 1946, moved to St. Louis in 1995 and back to LA in 2016.  Fascinating that in each stop they have won a season’s ultimate prize (either NFL championship or Super Bowl)! To add some extra spice to the Rams franchise history they were involved with the Baltimore Colts in what was the largest trade of all time as described here. https://www.nfl.com/news/sidelines/digging-into-the-colts-and-rams-1972-franchise-swap-was-the-greatest-biggest-tra
    • I still say crochet isn’t traded. It makes sense for Chicago to trade him but they could still get a ton for him in the offseason or at the deadline next year if things go right. I do not feel his value is at its peak right now BUT his value does risk to take a huge drop if they don’t trade him. It’s not an easy spot to be in for anyone involved in this decision.  
    • I don’t think many/any want or are eager to get rid of any of our very talented young players/prospects. However, I for one, am even less eager to see us roll with the pitching staff as is. The question/dilemma is what is the right amount of talent to acquire this year (and potentially beyond given the state of the rotation) to give us the best shot possible to be successful in October? And how to we balance that against our future potential/possibilities that some of the young players provide. It’s a very precarious position that Elias is in. We all hope that he makes great decisions that lead to both success now and in the future. But I get where you are coming from Kjerstad seems to have an elite power tool as the ball seems to really carry off of his bat.
    • I’m disappointed more O’s didn’t get in, but it’s hardly the biggest travesty in all star history, so, shrug. Jim Palmer mentioned on the broadcast that he didn’t make the All Star team two of the three times he won the Cy Young.  
    • I get that everybody wants the best of both worlds. But 2 questions: 1) What would be the plan for the pitching next year if we just went the rental/shortest term route? 2) Is Quantrill a guy that you trust making postseason starts? If so, what gives you confidence in him?
    • Because it's an attempt to curb one team's fanbase from stuffing the ballot.
