13. Reds - Roger Nelson, P

Actually, the astronauts were Tony Nelson (the one played by Larry Hagman) and Roger Healey.

"Roger, Roger."

"Roger, Roger."

Joey: Wait a minute. I know you. You're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Roger Murdock: I'm sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.
Joey: You are Kareem! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.
Roger Murdock: I think you should go back to your seat now, Joey. Right, Clarence?
Captain Oveur: Nahhhhhh, he's not bothering anyone. Let him stay here.
Roger Murdock: But just remember, my name is...
[showing his nametag]
Roger Murdock: ROGER MURDOCK. I'm an airline pilot.
Joey: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.
[Kareem gets angry]
Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.
Roger Murdock: [breaking character] The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

A couple surprises so far, the O's first pick is Ross Grimsley? Then, the Reds take Roger Metzger - ignoring their own Davey Concepcion, best shortstop of the 70s, father of the astroturf-bounce-throw to Tony Perez, and key member of the best starting 8 in the history of baseball. Boooo!!!
