Having recently watched the movie about him, I'm pretty sure Zen is correct.

[Alright, let's get away from political figures now... ;)]

[Redacted] was born in Stanmore, Middlesex. In 1958, when [Redacted] was two years old, his parents moved to Patchogue, New York. The family returned to England four years later with [Redacted] and his younger sister, Jane (who had been born in the U.S.), settling in Dorking, Surrey.[5] In 1971, the family moved to Bromley, southeast London, where [Redacted] attended Ravensbourne School for Boys. [Redacted] also attended Worthing High School for Boys in Worthing, West Sussex. In October 1975, [Redacted] attended the University of Sussex to pursue an English degree and lived on campus (East Slope in Falmer) but left after year one in 1976. He then went on to join the Bromley Contingent of Sex Pistols fans, a loose gang that travelled into town when the band played.[6][7] [Redacted]'s parents were devout Anglicans and attended church regularly.[8]

[Redacted] moved to New York City in 1981 and became a solo artist, working with former Kiss manager Bill Aucoin. [Redacted]'s punk-like image worked well with the glam rock style of his new partner on guitar, Steve Stevens.[11] Together they worked with bassist Phil Feit and drummer Gregg Gerson. [Redacted]'s solo career began with the Chrysalis Records EP titled Don't Stop in 1981

That hits all the bases. Hahaha sports humor.

Though I can't think of his sports commentary, how about Bill Maher.

His pop culture references are so out of date that it was like giving CPR to former Venezuelan ambassador Victor McCluenn sha sha.

His family could not afford baseball equipment, so he practiced by hitting bottle caps with sticks. He would create his own bats and balls out of materials he found on the streets.

he picked up the nickname 'pork chops' because it "was the only thing I knew to order off the menu." A teammate later said, "the man ate pork chops three meals a day, two for breakfast."

Was the last Negro league baseball player on a major league roster.

He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, from President George W. Bush in June 2002.
