Like Scott, Barry Levinson sent emails to all the Nests once. He said he was working on a new
film about the Baltimore Colts and wanted to talk to any old Colts fans to discuss their memories.
Damn, I was laid up in the hospital with my leg broken in 3 places and had an infection so I couldn't participate.
The movie turned out to be THE BAND THAT NEVER DIED and 2 members of the Ravens Nests made it in the movie with their recollections.
You can search for it on Netflix.
ESPN 30 for 30 has some great documentaries, that one in particular.Quote:

I remember him being a very large guy and his fingers were gargantuan. When I shook his hand as a 10 or 11 year old boy I was blown away. He could see the look on my face and he said "That's what your fingers look like when you have broken every one of them many times." When you are a kid and think about broken bones you think it's the worst pain possible, to think about doing it repeatedly, well, that was crazy talk.
My friends have a Dewey beach summer share...apparently Jah Reid hung out there this past weekend! Heard he's a nice guy.

A handful of the Orioles used to hang out at what was then Parrot Island in the mid to late 90s. Took a leak next to Norm Charlton once, and I swear his shake got my lower leg wet. Scott Erikson walked around with the blankest stare like he didn't know what day it was.
A few days after the epic O's-Yankees fight, though, saw Alan Mills there, and I said "Hey, you punched out Daryl Strawberry" and he said "damn right" and gave me a high five.
Not an NFL player and a pretty unique situation obviously, but Cal was a total douche to me. I was maybe 12-13, and his niece? second cousin-inlaw? or something? (I think his mom and Cal's wife were cousins) was my girlfriend. Well, we had gotten into a big fight(verbal) in school a few weeks before and both ended up suspended over it. Guess he heard about it and was pre-disposed to hating me. Needless to say I went home autographless. Oh well, sure if I saw him today he wouldn't remember me and he'd be a nice guy.
Oh the good ole days when the O's had good pitching.Quote:

That's good to know. I'm glad our players are friendly unlike the Steelers.Quote:
