Amby- I ran into a few guys you might know..

[Matty]

All three can probably walk around most US cities incognito.

I'm assuming your read of annoying the bib is correct and to that I once again say nice work, his role in life is to be annoyed.

[Saulty]

Are they hockey players?

 

[Matty]

Saulty - none of them are Atlanta Thrashers.

 

[Blitty]

Just a few of the Top 20 greatest athletes on Earth.

Maybe Top 10.

 

[PuckOff]

Crosby is easily the best pound for pound player on the planet since he came into the league. Easily.

Wouldn't have known any of them. Me no hockey pro. Great pics blitty. Imagine was quite a thrill.

 

[Tron]

Maybe Top 10.

Tron knows you were only kidding. Tron LOLd.

 

[Blitty]

Super Mario is without a doubt.

 

[Tron]

Agreed. He is an all time great.

 

[FairWarning]

A big advantage of playing hockey in the US, they are barely noticed on the streets.

 

[plommer]

Go Leafs Go!!

I wouldn't have known who they are if I saw them here but would probably could tell they are Canadians from the accents.

 

[Matty]

Evgeni Malkin's Canadian accent is especially strong.

True story.

I met Pedro Martinez on the streets of Toronto (Avenue Rd and Bloor) near the Four Seasons Hotel years back when he was with the Bosox.

I spotted him walking on Bloor with a pal of his holding a man purse and yelled "Hey Pedro!"

He looked at me, nodded and waved. That was it.


Also met Lou Piniella a few times at Bigliardi's Restaraunt (and OTB). Lou liked to drink and bet the Canadian harness races when in town. We talked horses and I never called him Lou or Mr Piniella, to me he was just another schmuck blowing money on the ponies.

 

[MrMonkey]

Blitty, have you ever had mumps?
