Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 2084242, member: 9"] Glad you shared that. When I was 12 years old I tried getting Rod Carew's autograph and he refused. He's been dead to me ever since. But seriously, I've probably met 30 or more professional athletes and famous people in social settings and they have always come off as regular people. My wife and I had a nice conversation with Dick Vitale and his wife for a half hour as we sat at the next table to them in South Beach. We also met Luis Gonzalez in a casino in Vegas and we talked to him for about 20 minutes and we were the ones who broke up the conversation otherwise he would probably still be talking. We also had a nice 20 minute conversation with Michael Douglas in Bermuda. He couldn't have been more cordial. [/QUOTE]
