Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends meeting celebrities.
Today, I feature two Chicago legends. I have met both, but am lucky enough to be friends with one of them.
NHL Hall of Famer Denis Savard started and finished his career with the Chicago Blackhawks. He should have played his whole career here, but then he wouldn't have won a Stanley Cup. Also, Chris Chelios wouldn't have played here. Those two actually became teammates upon Savard's return to the Hawks.
Northwestern Hall of Famer Tammy Williams was a star softball player. She played her entire pro softball career with the Chicago Bandits. Tammy was a joy on and off the field. I always enjoyed watching her field or bat and any conversation, whether for interviews or fun, was always a good time.
Tammy and Savard appeared at a function in Chicago in June. I bet these two are excellent golfers. Both are just great athletes, but more importantly, they are awesome people.
