Please excuse the silly look on my face - but I met an ESPN celebrity at the Rays game on 10/18/08.It's Tim Kurkjian (pronouced Ker-chin) - an ESPN baseball analyst.
He was just wandering around the 300 level. I saw some guy shake his hand and I thought, "that guy looks familiar?!?"
I told Jonathan that I found Lee Corso! Wait, that's the old guy on College Game Day. It's Karl Ravich! Actually, no - it was Tim Kurkjian. Thankfully Jonathan knew his name. I knew he was familiar, but I couldn't get my ESPN guys straight in my head.
We walked behind him for about 4 minutes until practically nobody else was around. I said, "excuse me Mr. Kurkjian?" and he turned around.
I asked if I could get a photo taken with him, and he was so nice! He said, "sure!". Then he shook Jonathan's hand and my hand.
Take note that I am about 5' tall. Which means Tim Kurkjian is only about 5'5".
