Hmmm is he a baseball player? His name sounds very familiar to me but enough that I can recall exactly who he is.

Wow! That's pretty cool. I'm not a big hockey fan, but I do know who Wayne Gretzky is.

Wayne Douglas Gretzky, CC (/ˈɡrɛtski/; born January 26, 1961) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player and former head coach. He played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for four teams from 1979 to 1999. Nicknamed "The Great One", he has been called "the greatest hockey player ever"[1] by many sportswriters, players, and the NHL itself. He is the leading point-scorer in NHL history, with more assists than any other player has points, and is the only NHL player to total over 200 points in one season – a feat he accomplished four times. In addition, he tallied over 100 points in 16 professional seasons, 14 of them consecutive. At the time of his retirement in 1999, he held 40 regular-season records, 15 playoff records, and six All-Star records. In addition to being its greatest scorer, Gretzky was the most gentlemanly superstar in the modern history of the NHL. He won the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship and performance five times,[2] and he often spoke out against fighting in hockey.[1][3]

So he's an oldie, eh? ;-) I don't watch any sports. I used to work in a drive thru coffee shack and, after receiving a check from Michael Jordan, I wondered if any "famous" people ever came thru that I wouldn't recognize - sports people, movie directors, musicians, etc. I did find out that people working on Dante's Peak did research in Moscow, ID (which is where I worked) and very possibly could have come thru. Maybe that guy that tipped $20 was someone? :mrgreen:
