Took a piss with Evel Knievel, no we didn't shake hands...
Don Larsen drank me under the table at a bar one night, yes we did shake hands...

1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Silver Charm at 25. Didn't make a scene, just fed him some carrots and a gave him scratch on the forehead. Very approachable and down to earth...

But very long-faced.

That was my favorite story.

Speaking of Sarah Jessica Parker, I ran into Mathew Broederick at a bakery in the East Village about 10 years ago. Nonchalant acknowledgment on my end and he politely smiled back.

OK, you made me laugh with that one, kudos to you!

Freshman in college, three of us bump into Herbie Hancock in a Radio Shack in Toledo.

I know, lamest story on here, but 30 years later I can't figure out: "What the heck was Herbie Hancock doing in a Radio Shack in Toledo??"

Maybe ten years ago I was crossing paths with a very tall woman walking in the Golden Corral in Jonesboro Georgia, as she got near I recognized that it was Lisa Leslie and she could tell that I knew who she was and looked very apprehensive that I would say something so I just looked away at that point. A few years after that I was at a KFC with a buffet in Smyrna Georgia that is now next door to the new Braves stadium, I was getting food from the buffet when Lex Luger in a wheelchair and another man got behind me. I'm pretty sure that Luger realized that I knew who he was but I don't think he cared, I wanted to say something congratulatory to him about Miss Elizabeth but I was afraid it would be awkward or taken the wrong way so I kept my mouth shut. They got rid of the buffet when the Braves began playing next door.
