Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 2:32pm on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 | Muhammad Ali Honored at Pump Foundation Gala
-- The Los Angeles Times reported on August 13, 2010:
"Hey, you're not the only one who lusts after celeb autographs. Even two-time Oscar winners have stars in their eyes occasionally.
"I love actors," honoree Denzel Washington told the crowd at the 10th annual Harold Pump Foundation Gala on Thursday, "but athletes, I just get stupid."
Earlier in the evening, Washington's eyes widened when a framed collection of autographs by 19 superfamous boxers went on the block during the live auction. "Oh, boy," he said. Then he raised his hand. $20,000 going once, going twice, sold to Denzel.
"I got a copy of the [Muhammad] Ali one already," he told the people at his table. "But that has Joe Louis' autograph, and he ain't signing no more."
If he'd wanted to, Washington could have snagged a fresh one from the three-time world heavyweight champ himself anyway. Because the evening's other honorees included two of the greatest athletes of all time – Ali and Hank Aaron, a 24-time Major League Baseball all-star. And the presenters – who included sports stars such as Sugar Ray Leonard, Oscar de la Hoya, Julius "Dr. J." Erving, Mark Spitz, Dave Winfield, Ernie Banks, Frank Robinson and Rayford Johnson -- weren't so shabby themselves."
