I've met quite a number of those old guys over the years. It was especially convenient when they actually used to qualify for participation in the WBC, you'd get a lot of them together in one place.
I ran into Mariano Rivera in the grocery store a year ago or so. He still looks like he could put on a uniform and get people out whenever he wants.
But in all seriousness, if I ever run into Manny I'll send you a picture of the both of us. I'm pretty sure he still spends a lot of time in Pittsburgh but he's pretty likely to spend winters here. I'll ask around.
Roberto Duran lives a block away from me. He is a total lunatic, but in the best possible way. I was walking by his house a couple of weeks ago and he was out in his driveway in his underwear yelling at someone inside. He has what once were luxury cars but are now nothing but old, beat-up pieces of metal crammed into every available square inch of parking in front of his house. Who knows if any of them even runs anymore. Back in 1990 or so he had a pet lion. It got loose one day and went roaming around the neighborhood eating out of trashcans. I too find it odd that anyone would actually use a trashcan but I guess you never know.
