Met a bunch of Bills players in the mid 70's to early 80's as my familys dealership used to supply cars for different functions for the bills. Too many to list. Also met a bunch of the Buc's as I was envolved with CASA down here in Florida for about 15 years. Met some actors, boxers, wrestlers, actresses, politions, etc......
One encounter with a famous person sticks out the most.......its about 30 years ago....
One night I decided to take my Girl friend to this nice resturant in Tampa, at the Hyatt, great steak.
So we decided to go to the bar for a couple of after diner drinks. Well we're having a good time, snugglin kissin an ****. Well, I had to drain the lizzard so I excused myself.......
So as I'm heading back to the bar I see this guy with his arm around my girl friend, his back is to me, they're laughin smiling have a good time. Now I'm pissed.
So I walk up tap him on the shoulder and said what the !@#$ do you think you're doing with your arm around my GF??
He turns around and its Billy Martin, Manager of the Yankees. (I'm a life long fan) He says nothin just shootin the breeze sir. I of course I forgive him right away, DUH!!
We proceed to do shots and drink for the next couple of hours just talking baseball and Yankees. Coolest night I ever had WRT "Brush with Greatness"
It was at the time where he had the cast on his arm from that run in with a reporter.
Too funny. Great night!!!!!!
RIP Billy.
