I used to "know" former Orioles catcher Chris Hoiles.
My mom used to run her own babysitting business, and the father's of one of the children happened to do some work for Hoiles. I went to the ball game a few times with him, and we'd go down to the dugout and chat with Chris before the game. Anytime we did that, we'd also sit in his personal seats right behind home plate.
That's the closest I've ever come to knowing a professional athlete, or to having a professional athlete know me.
I had a teacher in school that played for the Dallas Cowboys when they won all those Super Bowls, and actually had the rings to prove it. For the life of me I can't place that guy's name, but if I can remember it, I'll post it.
