    I am not famous, but I do have a baseball card.. i played 12 professional seasons.. pitched in the MLB in 2000.. My ‘06 walk up song when I with the Richmond Braves AAA team was Hold On.. Also used Breakerfall, and a few others in 2001, 02 when i was playing for the Nashville Sounds.. been a PJ fan since 1992 when I was in high school. Was a teammate of Bronson Arroyo’s for 8 years between the minors and mlb with Pittsburgh. We used to play guitar on the road together..

    not sure if this has been said but Christopher Mintz Plasse who played McLovin is a big fan.

    at fenway 2018 he was escorted right up to the front (but not in a row or even a seat) and stood at the rail with security around him. 

    I thought that was fucked up especially since security was being extra anal about people remaining right at their seats. I had one foot in the aisle and they kept harassing us. It's nearly impossible to stay at your seat once everyone starts moving around, i would if i could!

    but ya that rubbed me the wrong way that that dude was entitled enough to just bypass everyone.

    that is all.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I saw a rapid fire 20 questions type interview with Matthew Lillard where he was asked his favorite band and he said Pearl Jam. Just in case we needed another reason to love him

    So you played for Brian Snitker when you were at Richmond? I'm not a Braves fan but Snit seems like a really good guy.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    You retired with a career batting average of .500, should be more famous than Ted Williams!
