I was sitting at breakfast this morning next to Meadowlark Lemon, the Harlem Globetrotters great. He's also had success as an actor, a recording artist, and -- currently -- a minister, which is what we were mostly discussing. As the conversation wound down, there was one of those pauses, and in that pause I realized something.

"Hey," I said, "you were on Scooby-Doo!"

He nodded. "I was."

"I have to tell you," I said, "you're the first person I've ever met in real life who was on Scooby Doo."

He nodded again to acknowledge that this was probably quite an honor for me, shook my hand again, and we all turned our attention to the podium. This was probably fortunate for me, since I'm not quite sure how I planned to follow up on that line of conversation.

The reason I was able to have this slightly awkward conversation is that today was the media day for the 19th Annual Bobby Mitchell/TOYOTA Hall of Fame Golf Classic at Lansdowne Resort just outside of Leesburg, Va. A lot of sports-related events like to use the phrase "Hall of Fame" as a descriptor, and usually it just seems to mean "vaguely related to athletics". That's not the case here.

This event, which benefits the National Capital Area Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, is (according to the press release) "the largest gathering of Hall of Famers outside of Canton." And it's not just football Hall of Famers, as you can probably guess by Meadowlark Lemon's presence.

In total, Sunday's event is expected to feature more than 45 basketball and football Hall of Famers teeing off -- and it's open to the public. For a five dollar donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, you can be part of the gallery watching Redskins greats like Art Monk and Sonny Jurgensen, non-Redskins Hall of Famers like Steve Largent and Andre Tippett, and basketball greats like Lemon and Oscar Robertson. The event starts at 8:30 Sunday morning; tickets can be purchased here or by calling 703-309-2900.

More details on this morning to follow shortly.
