Close encounters of the surreal kind
Met Johnny Damon tonight at work on his birthday. Tomorrow I’ll be stalking Tino Martinez. I’ve only talked with two Yankees of my generation. I need to track down the greats; Mattingly, O’Neill, Jeter & Williams.
Awkward encounters of people I have spoke with. Most are funny like almost knocking Billy Gibbs down an escalator or arguing with David Koechner about what he can and can’t do in my bar.
