Warrick Dunn, easily.

Calm and soft spoken.

He made up for that on the field.

He’s a dick. Two nights in a row he tried to stand directly in front of me at Grateful Dead shows.

Coolest pro I’ve ever met?

Shaq.

I've never heard one good thing about Bradshaw and a lot bad when he lived in Scottsdale for a period. And he has a daughter who is a lunatic.

Have met a bunch and none of them were dicks that i can remember.

I played volleyball with Charles Scott once. Going up to try and block him took some serious nuts

Shaq, anyone else is not even close!

*I need to edit this....met George Foreman and he was as nice as you hope any of these celebrity athletes would be. Classy guy. He's a close 2nd to Shaq. Shaq was just a big kid and is always having fun with everyone!

My cousin and I met up with Matt Batts for lunch once in 1995 and we talked about old-school baseball for about three hours. He was an awesome dude.

Bumped into Carl Erskine once and had a nice conversation with him for about twenty minutes or so. I've met dozens of other MLB ballplayers over the years but those two stand out.

Biggest dickheads: Reggie Jackson and Will Clark

Ryan Theriot


I met him when he still played for Broadmoor.

One day I was in the mall with some friends.. One of them had played in a summer league with him the summer before and he was in there with a few people and meet him them.

Broadmoor was in the same district as us and the guy who played ball with him in the Summer.. He faced Theriot a few times his sophomore year then since they played each other twice a year, he faced him quite a few times during his junior and senior year.. Everyone started to mess with him his junior year and he would get pissed..

The last time he faced him.. He was up on Theriot with a 2-1 pitch count. He throws the next pitch and Theriot gets a piece of the ball, but swung a little too late and the ball just kind of popped over the pitcher's mound and landed between 1st and 2nd base. It was actually closer to first base so the first basement went to get it and the guy I am talking about, who was pitching stalled before running to first and Theriot got to first before the first basemen could get back to first..

He showed it to me but I don't know if we really talked about it. I was just pumped up for him to be buying me drinks and getting into bars there was no way I would have gotten into. I was only 20 at the time. We were with my cousin and his friend who was with the 49ers and went to Stanford. So once the Stanford guys starting talking crap about SC, Ronnie said F those guys let's go get some drinks.

He wasn't a pro but I hung out with Don Redden while on vacation. He was seriously a good guy and had me laughing all the time.

Class act.
