Reminds me of when a fanatical Mariners fan friend of mine came across Alex Rodriguez and another player. She promptly went running up to the pair and exclaimed "Oh my God!! Dan Wilson!!!!!"

I'm surprised she didn't spit on A-Rod.

He was absolutely livid. This was back when he still played for the Mariners, in case that wasn't clear. I would have paid anything to have seen his facial expression.

Which, in the end is why we couldn't keep him. Sigh.

Odd down vote. I was just saying he left Seattle, then Texas because he wanted to be in the limelight. Sheesh!

Must be something about Alex Rodriguez...

When the guy showed up at the same country club in Miami my father asked him if he played for the Dolphins...

I think I've fallen into an alternate universe. I could swear Warren Beatty died just after 'Dick Tracy' came out.

Who did die at about that time?

Adelle Beatty?

Pavel Cherenkov, Lewis Mumford, Aaron Copeland, Sammy Davis Jr, Jim Henson, Leonard Bernstein, BF Skinner, Greta Garbo, Roald Dahl ...
