Josh Brolin and his wife bought a house in my neighborhood (his current wife is from Atlanta) and I saw him in Publix. His cart had about 5 cases of Budweiser in it. I spoke with him and he told me his wife was taking their kids to the in-laws and he was going to sit around and drink beer all weekend
He is super short and has a huge head. Almost looked like a cartoon character.

Was in a bar in NOLA and was like, damn whoever is playing the piano is LEGIT.
Then realized it was Harry Connick Jr who was in there having a drink, saw the piano, and felt like playing a bit.
We did a little golf clap when he finished and he came to our table and BS'd with us a while and bought a couple of rounds.
Met Natasha Henstridge after the MTV Rock N Jock Super Bowl in NOLA in the 90's.
Chatted with her for 10 min or so and said frick it, and took my shot and crashed and burned.
She let me down as politely as she could

Was on a ferry to Martha's Vineyard circa 1984. It was cold so my buddy and I retreated to an empty indoor seating area. Muriel Hemingway walked in one door and out another. Riveting, I know.

I watched Trent Reznor hit on a chick that waited tables with us at a parade in NOLA years ago.
I didn't watch the same chick screw Ethan Hawke, but she said she did.

A few once-upon-a-time sports versions (nothing crazy)...
#1, Year: 2000
Scene: Cooperstown NY
Place: Dusty parking lot of a Diner owned and operated by New York Yankee third baseman Clete Bloyer.
Three Generations of boys went to Cooperstown, NY for a Baseball Hall of Fame trip for a few days, tipped off that Clete Boyer often meets & greets patrons of his Diner. So off we went for lunch expressively for the chance to chat with the Mickey Mantle-era third bagger.
Sat down to an almost empty Diner. When asked about Boyer, the waitress replied, "Oh he just left; You might be able to still catch him before he leaves."
Bolted out of the glass doors into the dusty stone parking lot. Looked around. Nobody. Suddenly a big ol' pick up truck is tearing out toward us. We wave. Pick up truck stops and the window rolls down. Yes, it's Clete Boyer -- smiling and dragging on a cigarette...
Gets out of the truck, sticks a "paper bag" back onto the seat, and greets us politely. He was obviously drinking his lunch but who cares. He stopped just for us and poses for a few photos. Checking the frame through the camera viewfinder, the still smoking Clete has his arms around dad and my son -- whose right eye was almost poked twice with the dayum Marlboro.)
I switch places with my son to pose with Boyer and dad. "Clete, I just spoke to Phil Linz -- he said he was the better third baseman." Boyer's 80 Proof answers: "He was...*mumble...mumble*." Good sense of humor. Impressions: Bigger guy than I thought; A happy, gracious host and gentleman (Pictures were great.)
#2, Year: 1984
Scene: Atlantic City Casino
Taking an elevator up to the Casino floor with GF (no pics), doors open: BOOM! Sugar Ray Leonard RIGHT THERE for some reason -- looking shocked. No one else nearby. I immediately recognized him and said hello, extending my hand to shake his; he looked toward his two bodyguards as if asking with his eyes whether it was ok. And he did. Immediate Impression: Much smaller in person. No small talk.
#3, Year: Early 80s
Place: Jersey Shore beach resort
Scene: Boardwalk Game of Skill (tossing softballs in a fruit basket)
Pittsburgh Pirate, Willie Stargell stopped by with his son, trying to drop softballs into the basket to win a big stuffed animal. I was the game operator. Stargell took it seriously, focusing hard, arcing and spinning the ball high -- his technique was great. But...I had to keep on reminding Mr. Stargell,"Ya gotta watch that Foul Line -- you can't extend over it".
Now into the game for more than a few tries, "Wow Willie, 474 home runs." That broke his concentration and on focusing on the balls and baskets in that moment. Slowly and seriously peered down at me and spoke just one this single phrase during his entire game session: "FOUR-HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE". Me: "Oh yeah -- that's right". Then he got back into his task at hand.
No, Willie did not win a prize.

Not a celebrity but Tommy Tuberville damn near ran me over in his golf cart before an A day game in 2004.

Met Brandon Vera way before he was in the UFC and in the Air Force.
Met Kid Rock, Ja Rule and Jennifer Lopez when they came to Ramstein, Germany. Kid Rock and Ja Rule we're cool as shite. J-Lo was a certified bitch. They had a video on MTV of it all and she went to some dudes dorm room because he "won a date" or some shite and as their walking out the door, one of my buddies says "She ain't all that" LOL
