Random Celebrity Sightings 2018
« on: July 14, 2018, 03:23:21 PM »
How about a random celebrity sightings thread for this year?  It has to be random sighting and not a planned photo op or event.

I'll start it off.  Yesterday after leaving Laika, I saw Tony Gwynn sitting at a table next to the sidewalk just a few steps away from Laika.  He's not a Hollywood A Lister but he's a local and sports celebrity in my book.  I followed comic-con protocol and asked before taking a picture.  He said yes and thanked me for asking.  Of course, asking is the polite thing to do.

You saw the ghost of Mr. Padre!?!?  :P

Tony Gwynn Jr. is a cool dude. I enjoy listening him announce the padre games. He sounds exactly like his dad.

Yea, I was thinking he saw his son too. He does have a pretty good resemblance to his dad. Man I sure miss Tony Gwynn.

Tony Gwynn Jr.  He also played in MLB, is a local broadcaster and has been in movies.  It wasn't some random guy, I asked if he was Tony Gwynn.

As for taking pictures of random people, it wouldn't be the first time.  Once I recognized a celeb with someone else.  She looked like a celeb too so I thought she was another person on the show.  I asked to take a picture of him and then I asked to take her picture too.  Later on I found out that she was his girlfriend and not a celeb. :)

Off topic, but this chat reminds me of the story of the guy taking a photo of his daughter with Matthew Broderick back in 2009:

But as Broderick was posing with Nicole, a man hovered nearby and Cabana asked him to move to the side.

Cabana remembers Jerry Seinfeld shrugging and stepping aside, but not quite out of frame.

I know who Tony Gwynn jr is...that’s just not who said originally...
Ken Griffey is also not Ken Griffey Jr
And Cal Ripken isn’t Cal Ripken Jr
