Name Dropping

Here's some of the famous people I've been around these past few weeks:

The Kansas City Royals
The Chicago White Sox
Minnie Minoso
The Goo Goo Dolls
Governor Matt Blunt of Missouri
Miss Missouri
Miss Kansas
Miss Northeast Kansas
Ozzie Smith (St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Hall of Fame)
Willie Wilson (KC Royals)
Frank White (KC Royals)
Joe Carter (Mets or Phillies...I'm drawing a blank)
Joe Azcue (Reds, Indians, Brewers, Kansas City A's, etc...)
Bert Campaneris (Kansas City A's, Oakland A's)
Tommy Davis (Dodgers)
Bobby Dernier (Phillies, Cubs)
Al Fitzmorris (Royals, Indians, Angels)
Ed Hearn (Mets, Royals)
Jay Johnstone (Phillies, Dodgers)
John Mayberry (Royals, Blue Jays)
Amos Otis (Royals)
Freddie Patek (Royals)
Bill Pecota (Washington Senators, Royals)
J.R. Richards (Houston Astros)
Ron Robinson (Reds, Brewers)
Steve Trout (White Sox, Cubs, Yankees, Mariners)
Jon Warden (Detroit Tigers)

I've met the Governor several times... (Duh, we grew up down the road from each other!) and got to meet Willie Wilson... and have met Frank White before... the rest of the group I got to watch play baseball, or join me in watching baseball (in the case of the Goo Goo Dolls), and Miss Missouri was with Governor Blunt, while the two Miss Kansans were at the Willie Wilson game...

It's been a busy couple of weeks...
