Here's a mug shot of a famous athlete--3 guesses and no cheating!

1. with apologies to Harry Chapin

Mr. Tanner was a kiter,
from a town in Tennessee,
and of all the rubber checks in town,
he'd made his the best.

But he also was a fugitive,
who ran from town to town.
He practiced sets while forging checks,
and skipped on child support.

and this is what happens, when you keep a Roscoe away from his flash.

4. Cute!

But poor Roscoe! How the mighty have sometimes fallen!

2. Oh man, I should have clicked on this thread

I kept passing while watching the football game.

I recognized Roscoe Tanner immediately, the lefty with the bullet serve. That was the debut of Breakfast at Wimbledon in '79, Roscoe pushing Bjorner Bjorger to 5 tough sets before losing.

3. Yikes! I remember that match!

That makes me feel old!
