I stepped on Ricky Henderson's dress shoes when the Yanks were in town to play Grambling and broke the tassel off of it.

Saw Evander Holyfield playing volleyball at a Sandals resort in Jamaica on my honeymoon. Got his autograph.

This was 1996. Damn I'm old.

The biggest icon I have seen play was Michael Jordan. That was pretty cool, even though he was old and it was with the Wizards.

I went to a ton of Braves games back in the 90's and saw their top guys like Maddox, Glavine, Smoltz, and Chipper. I've also seen Pujols, Jeter, and A-Rod. I was at Stephen Strasburg's MLB debut, and that may be a pretty good story if his career takes off.

I never saw Bo Jackson play, but I've seen most of the big Auburn stars of the last 25 years: Cam, Cadillac, Jason Campbell.

Multiple Saints games, so Brees of course

Peyton Manning I saw vs the Texans

At the time they were huge, but after it being known as the steroid era, not so much now; saw McGwire and Sosa both play the Astros. Their home run battle was one of they're exciting times ever in baseball. The sport is hardly watchable to me anymore.
