From time to time, athletes make guest appearances on TV shows. This doesn't happen as much anymore, and certainly not as much as the 1980s, when seemingly every kid making a big league roster got at least a guest spot on "Small Wonder" (I think it was in a collective bargaining agreement). Thank God for YouTube, which lets us relive the train wrecks that happen when entertainment and sports collide.
For example, here are the legendary Detroit Tigers double play combination of Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker doing a guest spot on "Magnum P.I." with a haggard looking Tom Selleck. The spot makes sense, given the character's love to the Tigers. Too bad no one thought to find out of either of these guys could act:
As McLane pointed out, Trammell's necklace kicks all kinds of ass. And Lou Whitaker resembles LenDale White minus about 1,000 Quarter Pounders with Cheese.
