ABOUT DAVID:
Earliest Baseball Memory: Hollering at utility man Frank Quilici when I was 6-7 years old. In my best Ken Simone imitation, I badly mangled the pronunciation.
Cherished Autograph or Photo Opp: I was was working in the advertising department of a local retailer and we had Brooke Shields make some in-store appearances.. I had a couple of MLB game balls on-hand, and wheb I asked her to sign, she seemed curious, as though she'd never had such a request. But she was very pleasant, even cautiously asking "So you want me to write on this ball?" Indeed, I did.
Brushes with Fame: Gordon Jump, Fred McGriff, Martin Mull. President Clinton, John Tesh, Kevin Sorbo, and the guy named "Ruben" from the Subway commercials. Oh, and I saw Tony LaRussa driving the Dan Ryan Expressway—his vanity plate that caught my attention: SOX-10."
Shirt Size: XL
Biggest Trade Regret: Badly overpaid for Sterling Hitchcock.
Streaming TV Networks: Apple TV, Peacock
I'm Loyal to This Brand: Adidas, Kirkland Ice Cream from Costco.
Favorite Vacation: Santa Fe NM, Sydney.
Best Uniform in All of Sports: 1960s Oakland A's golds, also love the Montreal Canadiens; it's amazing how unique they look using red, white, and blue. I like being able to immediately identify who's playing, so also big points for Brazil's national soccer team, Packers, Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, Philadelphia Flyers, Showtime Lakers, Browns, Celtics, and the Norwegian Curling Team.
Why I Love PGB: Nothing in life is as amusing or absurd. Oh, and pizza talk.
