    << <i>I think Vukovich WAS the first baseman in Major League. Great movie.

    Yeah, there was a great line in that movie from Bob Uecker where he says the Walt Weiss character also led the ML in nosehairs too and whenever he sneezed, it looked like he was blowing a party favor. Pete Vukovich always had that great p0rn 'stach image

    Roger Clemens was in COBB. I think he played one of the pitchers that Tommy Lee Jones batted against.

    From my youth, I remember seeing Fred Lynn (my fav player back then), George Brett, and one other batter I can't remember appear in an episode of Fantasy Island. Brett got K'd by the dorky Gary Burghoff character who was pitching to him and exploded into a rant against the ump. This was a pre-cursor to his famous "pine-tar" tirade image

    Although not as low key as the above, I thought Dan Marino was actually pretty good in Ace Venture: Pet Detective.

    For all you soap fans out there, I read in SI that Luke Walton is appearing on an episode of Young and the Restless at the end of this month. So everyone get your Tivo's ready! image
    Looking for Carl Willey items.
  • Henry Aaron was on HAPPY DAYS.
  • Lance Armstrong's pep talk to Vince Vaughn in "Dodgeball" was hilarious.
  • How about Joe Charboneau in "Major league" (I think it was ).

    Wow... how can you guys be forgetting Roger Clemens in KINGPIN!!! Anybody remember Woody's classic line "You don't mow another man's lawn!"

    I'd have to go with Kareem's roll in Airplane though for all-time best...

    ALWAYS Looking for Chris Sabo cards!

    John Matuszak was classic in the Goonies!
  • I'm amazed no one has mentioned Dick Butkus and Bubba Smith in the TV version of Blue Thunder. Not exactly cameos - they were recurring roles in the weekly show - but certainly obscure enough. The show lasted only 11 episodes.
