Yeah, You Can Let "Him" In
Via Neil Best with a hat tip to BaseballThinkFactory.org:
In my item in Tuesday's paper on Paul O'Neill limiting himself to 25 games per season on YES, I forgot to mention an amusing moment:
I was walking with O'Neill toward the Blue Jays' locker room when a security guard stopped him and demanded to see a credential. O'Neill didn't have one, but politely pointed out he is, well . . . Paul O'Neill!
The guard wasn't buying it. I was about to chime in (and risk arrest) when another guard came over and said O'Neill was OK to go through.
I told O'Neill that maybe if he called more than 25 games a year, the staff would know who he is.
Maybe the guard though O'Neill was a La Troy Hawkins imposter?
