The Veteran Panel - Willie Wilson, Frank White, and John Wathan

The best moment from that was when this little kid got up to ask a question and said, "Mr. White" (which made all the other players laugh and compliment the kid on being very respectful) "Um...Mr. White, what was your most embarrassing thing that happened to you when you were a baseball player." And he looked a little horrified and tried to get Willie Wilson to take the mike instead, which he refused and kept pushing it back saying, "no Mr. White, she asked you" and then "Mr. White" told a story about when he was playing in Boston and some guy from the other team (I forget his name) did a pop-up slide into second, which is when you slide into the base but pop right up. Well, the guy was wearing his hard batting helmet, popped right up into Frank White's chin and basically knocked him out for a second and Frank stumbled back and everyone came running over thinking he'd had a heart attack or something because they didn't see that the other guy's head had basically cold-cocked him.
