PITTSBURGH - Funny man vendor T.C. Congdon spends every Pirate home game drifting through the aisles of PNC Park hawking one item or another while entertaining the hordes by calling fans by the names of celebrities they vaguely resemble.
His shtick fell flat at this year's All-Star game, played at PNC Park, because the real celebrities were actually there.
"Pass this beer to Meathead," Congdon told a fan. It quickly dawned on Congdon that the recipient of the beer really was Rob "Meathead" Reiner.
Congdon made the same mistake with Dean Cain. "Look," Congdon shouted, "there's Superman." It turned out he was right.
American League team manager Ozzie Guillen got wind of what Congdon was doing and called him a "retard" because "there's nothing funny about calling a celebrity by his real name."
