Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring my friends meeting celebrities.
My buddy Dennis is one of my convention pals. I never see Dennis away from conventions, but we always catch up a bit at those events.
Dennis ventures out to some conventions I don't attend. One such is the Sports Convention in Rosemont. While it is a great convention, which bringsin a lot of famous athletes, I find it too crowded. That's a great thing for them. It's just not for me.
Dennis, however, braves the crowd and scores a lot of athletes. One such athlete recently was Hall of Fame pitcher Jack Morris. Pitching for four teams over his 18 years career, Morris went 254-186. He was a three-time World Series champ, a World Series MVP, a five-time All-Star and he also pitched a no-hitter.
I haven't met Morris yet. Dennis has that one on me. I did meet him in the pressbox at Target Field, but I did not ask for a picture, because it was my first time there and I wasn't going to risk rocking the boat.
