GMT Trivia: Where Are They Now?

HHR's GMT caught up with some of our favorite 80's ballplayers recently.

We thought it'd be fun if our readers could test their knowledge on what some of them are now up to.

Match the player with where we found him. Post guesses in comments section. Answers will be revealed later.

Click to enlarge and get a real good look...

  1. Kicking your f*ckin' ass every-which-way but Satuday.
  2. Sesame Street
  3. Polishing his "gun."
  4. Looking in your sister's window.
  5. Coaching Little League and becoming frustrated that 8-year-olds can't explain to him the infield fly rule.
