The Kruk story I heard was, and I am sure there are many, was he was in a restaurant and was smoking while eating his dinner.
An adult who was with his child asked how could he afford to be a chain-smoker if he was an athlete. His response, "I'm not an athlete. I'm a baseball player."
Also, in regards to Katherine Ross. She's been married to Sam Elliott since 1984. I don't think anyone wants to mess with him, even at age 75.
I grew up in tiny Morrison, Ill., a little two hours west of Chicago, population 4,200 and slowly shrinking, our claim to fame is Robert Millikan who won the Nobel Prize and founded the university.
I do think we've had some girls softball players in recent years who have made a national impact and maybe even played professionally. I've been gone so long, however, I can't recall the names.
There also is a music producer active right now -- Paul Klimson -- who has worked with many of the big names out there. Justin Timberlake, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, The Roots, etc.
It looks like he designed the theater sound system for Fallon's Tonight Show and worked on the show for six years or so.
But he's a behind the scenes guy.
