He's pretty cool, met him a few times at the Motorplex south of Dallas. Got this shot in 2000.

I would only consider #3 to be having "met".
Does being at your house count as #3?

For me that would be:

Don Sutton
Jimmy McElreath
Tony Bettenhausen
Gary Bettenhausen

You're the Big Kid on the Block when at age 8 you have an IndyCar trailer parked in front of your house on the day after the 500 (Jimmy's car).

Re: What famous people have you met?

I've met a few, but my best are Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Duke Snider. My uncle used to own a baseball card store in Marietta, GA back in the late eighties and he put on a card show w/ all three. I actually got to eat dinner w/ Mr. Snider and Mr. Mays. I watched the Tyson Spinks fight in the same living room Mr. Mantle. It was pretty cool.
