Euro player in grocery line

[Mark Padgett]

I was in line at the grocery store this morning and there was a really, really tall guy in front of me. While we were waiting, we started talking. He said his name was Frank Sanders and he played pro ball in Italy about 10 years ago. I asked him how tall he was and he said 6'11". He actually seemed taller, but I have heard that some guys who are over 7 feet tall don't like to admit that because they think people will consider them weird.

Here's the funny part. The woman in line in front of him apparently forgot her "preferred customer card" and said to the checker (who was a guy), "Let me give you my phone number". This was so he could enter it into the system and give her customer account credit for the purchase. Frank turned to me and said, "I want a job where women give you their phone number."

Hey - I thought it was funny. Anyway, anybody ever hear of this guy?
