I met a bunch of different players as a kid at card shows (not sure if those count, but if it does then I can list Mickey Mantle).
Jeff Montgomery and Jim Eisenrich came to our school once and we got to meet them. I answered their "toughest" trivia question that day so I got some cool signed swag as a bonus.
Got to meet Buzz Aldrin as a kid when he was at an airshow in Topeka.
I've been down to Terry Bradshaw's place (when he lived in TX anyway) a couple of times and ended up buying a horse from him.
Various Chiefs players/coaches at TC a number of times. John Dorsey and Charcandrick West were by far the nicest of them all. Real or fake, they would talk to you and seemed interested in it.
My brother in law played a couple of years at KU for Roy, but he never saw much game time.
A kid that grew up the next house down from my folks is a co-captain for KSU this year. He was in my stepsons graduating class.
