Used Up Some Of My 15-Minutes Of Fame Today
This takes a bit of explaining. But stick with me - this is some pretty funny stuff. Ha Ha! 
I went to an Angels vs. Yankees game last Friday, June 3, 2011.
There was a guy who sat in front of me who looked just like Denver Post sportswriter and star of the ESPN show Around The Horn Woody Paige. I asked the guy if he were Woody Paige and he said he was and interacted with us during the entire game. He was really fun and nice - just like Woody.
To memorialize the event, I took a short video of Woody. I then posted that video to YOUTUBE. Here is that video.

After I got home I looked at the video several more times and began to suspect that maybe the guy wasn't actually Woody Paige. I looked at other photos and videos of Woody and compared some of the things he told us against facts about Woody. They just didn't match up.
So yesterday I sent the video to Woody Paige at the Denver Post via his contact email address on their website. He actually answered me!
That conversation is posted below.
I didn't think much of it at the time. But then I got home and turned on the show like I always do. Low and behold, this is what I see! Watch the entire short video to see what they did and their comments. The part in question starts about 25 seconds in.

I figured it wasn't him Dana but I didn't want to burst your bubble! 
I turned my phone every angle imaginable but wasn't convinced. It's awesome that your vid made it on ATH, you are getting popular.
