Junkyard Dog, when I was 10 @ a wrestling match, and then again as an adult not too long before he died. He was at a service station, and he purchased some snack cakes and a coke. I referred to him after that as junk food dog. RIP JYD

Years ago. Probably 11 years.

Also saw Troy Aikmen and tons of other celebs. They walk right through the crowds.

Carl Crawford - he goes to the same hitting coach as my brother.

Craig Biggio - coached against my brother. He also complimented my Astros hat one time at a gas station.

Todd Helton - my cousin played for the Rockies and we got to wait outside the locker room for him to come out and Todd Helton was also there meeting his family.

Allen Iverson - had court side seats when he was on the 76ers. All of the Rockets players, too.

Lance Berkman - met him at Baseball USA here in Houston when he went to watch somebody play.

That's all of the "big time" athletes I've seen up close or met.

I've seen a bunch of others at various sporting events. Sosa, McGuire, Bonds, Randy Johnson, Barkley, McGrady, Yao, Hakeem, Kobe, Brees, Shaq, etc.

Been numerous times. Hanging around major celebs is cool but nothing beats the infield. Although, I haven't been back for 10 years cause people decided to started to throw bottles like crazy.

I used to work for the Texas Rangers - so tons there. Had lots of BAD experiences with Cowboys players during the late 90s/early 2000s. I worked at a high-end bar/restaurant where lots of guys hung out so here's a few of the highlights.

I've got a picture of the Stanley Cup in my swimming pool. All I'm gonna say is - Darian Hatcher is a man of his word. Used to see Mike Modano out n' about regularly. Marty Turco used to come eat at my bar about twice a week during the season.

Benji Gil and Darren Oliver came to a BBQ my friends and I threw while they were on IR like a million years ago.

More Cowboy players than I could possible remember including Aikman, Emmit, Moose. Coolest one I ever had a real conversation with was Tony Dorsett (Moose a close 2nd - He would sign autographs as "Troy Aikman"). Most random was former punter Mike Saxon on an airplane from South Padre.
