I have yet to run into any major league athletes but met two or three political figures when I lived in DC.
The first was Justice Scalia, who I met at a school function. He was nice enough--signed a copy of the Constitution for me, chatted a bit, etc.--but, he refused to pose for a picture. He did not mind if we stood next to him and got our pictures taken but would not actually pose. I saw Justice Ginsberg on a couple of occasions but unfortunately never got the chance to talk with her.
The second was Senator McCain. I ran into him on the street after his bid for presidency. I had the opportunity to shake his hand, meet with him very briefly, and get a picture with him. He seemed like he was incredibly busy, so I tried not to take up much of his time. But, he was really gracious.
I've since moved to NYC. I don't have a good eye for celebrities and have only encountered one since moving here, and he happens to live in my building. Apparently there are a handful of others that frequent the building, but I have not recognized them and probably would not bother them even if I did.
