audio  Chris Young recalls being mistaken for the baseball pitcher with the same name. (:29)
“The pitcher, Chris Young — somebody up came to me at a meet-and-greet, and they’re like, ‘So, how do you do it?’ And I’m like, ‘What?’ And she’s like, ‘How do you do it?’ And I’m like, ‘The job?’ And she goes, ‘Yeah.’ I’m like, ‘Well, I mean, you know, we’re on a bus a lot, and we’re on a lot of planes, but you know, I love music, and so I don’t really mind not bein’ at home that much.’ And she goes, ‘So do you get your pitching schedule and then you book shows around…?’ She thought I was…she thought both of us were the same person. Like, she thought I was a musician and a baseball [player]…it was just funny. I laughed my butt off for a while about that one.”
