    When I was in HS I worked as a cowboy for Charlie Pride at his feed lot in Hardesty, Ok. Saw him once from a distance.    

    A guy I work with was in Charlie’s touring band for many years. I get lots of stories of thier golfing exploits. 

  4. I was doing a press event at the MLB all-star game in philly (1996 or so). At the airport, I was waiting and waiting for my bag to arrive until it was just me and this old black guy and no more bags coming out. I started talking to him with the general “I guess they lost our shit” theme when I notice his hat said “Ernie Banks, Mr Cub.” We kept chatting while we did the paperwork for the luggage, when I got paged over the PA. The MLB Fan Fest was sending someone to pick me up. I asked Ernie if he wanted a ride and we went off to find the desk where the ride was waiting. We get there and my driver is Jay Johnstone. Jay and Ernie of course knew each other and they thought the whole thing was hilarious. 

    The next day, Jay introduced me to pretty much everyone, Earl Weaver, Steve Carlton, Tommy Lasorda, etc and dragged me around with him all day. He sent Jim Gilliam off to find me a better ticket for the home run derby - which was an epic Bonds v McGuire. 

    Fun times...
