I met O.J. Simpson twice in Las Vegas. I didn’t know how to handle the first meeting. I was similarly thrown off by the second.
Simpson, who died of cancer at age 76 on Wednesday in Las Vegas, attended the Aviators opener at Las Vegas Ballpark in 2019. He was at the bar, surrounded by a group of curious, selfie-seeking onlookers. I took a few shots of him being photographed. I worked my way to him, shook his hand, introduced myself and said, “I remember your last game at Candlestick Park, when the Niners beat Tampa Bay and the fans went nuts.”
