Have You Ever.... (Page 3)

LIKE. 

Great pic, Dan.

For a second, I thought you were the one being chased. 

I was interviewed by John Oliver at an Obama rally in 2008, but didn't make it on TV.

I caught a foul ball.  It was at a Milwaukee Brewers game.  They played the Seattle Mariners and the ball was hit by Jay Buhner.  We were sitting in a pretty open section at a night game and the ball bounced into the seats.  I was the first person there.

We went to PAX in 2008 and my DH was an Omeganaut, so he got interviewed for Wired and lots of other websites.  You can see us in a picture that was on the front page of Wired.

2x

1.  I was at a local radio station's Toga party after my cousin won tickets on the air.  The local news caught me and put on tv acting crazy in my toga and holding a beer.  That was interesting explaining at Church on Sunday Morning.

2.  There was a problem on the Commuter trains coming out of Downtown were delayed after a Locomotive ghost rided out of the yard and derailed on a bridge a few years ago.  Again I was caught in a bar waiting to be able to get out of the city.  This time I was interviewed and was much more polished!

Not TV that I recall but was in a newspaper article as the sole eye-witness to the identity of an armed bank robber who got away.

I was just pulling up to the curb in my car when I see this guy dancing around in a red cloud with cash flying everywhere.  He was trying to get the red dye bomb out of the bag of money.  I got out of my car as he dropped his pistol on the ground and took off running.  The police seemed more interested in whether I took any of the money than getting a description of the guy but I was the only one who saw him unmasked.

I was a little peezed at the paper because they gave my full name and hometown.  Like if the guy wanted to preserve his identity he was pretty much told who I was and where I lived.  They never caught the guy and he never came after me.  And I didn't take any of the cash.

My wife and I were married at a Philadelphia 76ers game on Valentines Day, 1998.  CNN used footage of me and the Mrs. so technically we were seen in lots o' countries.  

We were interviewed in studio prior to the wedding on a Philly Sports show...we had a surprise guest visit us on camera...Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown gave us marital advice during our interview.    

Clemson University...let's just say I am not a fan.  In '95, at a Cleveland Indians game at Jacobs Field...Alvaro Espinoza fouled back a ball, and due to some Clemson frat jerks who stole seats next to us, I was pushed out of a foul ball.  The good news is that they didn't get the ball...a dad with his little girls got the ball.  I was happy about that.  (btw, Hershiser, my all-time fav. pitched, and Rickey Henderson homered in the game, good stuff)

If that was anytime between '89 and '92 in Liverpool, I may have been one of those volunteers manning a phone!  Ha!  Small world.

UMass Cheerleader in the Final Four, Calipari, Marcus Camby era.

Some local charity stuff.

Now, I usually get lied about from local teacher unions that want to fight charter schools, but that is just in the printed media.
