Actually, no you are being pathetic. I played in Little League with Rusty and we also had a few classes together in middle school and high school. I hung out with him some in high school so I do know him personally and I've even gotten free tickets to Angels-Rangers games from him when I lived in Southern California. So, I knew an actual major league baseball player, not some scrub who couldn't make it out of D ball.
