On Monday night, Soccer player Brandi Chastain was awarded a plaque with her likeness on it by the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame to be displayed at the San Fransisco Airport. It is a huge honor for her, but there was just one little problem. It does not look anything like her. I think it looks like Harpo Marx, while others see it looking like Jimmy Carter or Gary Busey. Who do you think it looks like?
Jimmy Kimmel wanted to know who she thinks it resembles, so he asked her all about it on the show last night. She says she sees Mickey Rooney.
How did she feel when she saw it? She was so caught up in the moment that she did not even look at it until after she took several pictures with the plaque. Once she got a good glimpse of it, she was like what is going on here?
Did she flip her lid like most of us would do? She laughed it off and now BASHOF is working on a new one that will hopefully look more like her than everyone else but her. Something, this time around, she says will get approval on. Which is a good thing for her.
Is she upset with BASHOF? Not at all because they are a great organization that helps underprivileged kids. She made sure to point that out before their interview was over.
I wonder how Lucille Ball would have reacted if she saw that horrendous bronze statue in her likeness. She probably would have said a lot of words she could not have said on any of TV shows.
