The Great Imposter
From 1979 to 1986, Barry Bremen, a Detroit-area novelty goods salesman, became known in the sports world as The Great Imposter. Playfully seeking the spotlight, Bremen posed as a player in the Major Leagues and NBA, PGA golfer, NFL and NHL referee, and even Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. In doing so Bremen not only became known as sports ultimate fan but also managed to live out the dreams of legions of failed high school all-stars and armchair quarterbacks across the nation.

Expected more
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
30 for 30: The Great Imposter (2013)For a seven year period Barry Bremen became known as The Great Imposter as he would find as many ways possible to work himself into the spotlight at various sporting events. These methods had Bremen getting on the court pretending to be a NBA All-Star, getting on the field at the 1986 MLB All-Star game and getting cussed by Tommy Lasorda and various other sporting events. I had never heard of Bremen until I watched this short and man what a trip it was. Of course, the times are a lot different today so after one of these events he'd probably be spending a lot more time in jail but back in the day these events made him a mini-celebrity and he even got on The Tonight Show. This documentary does a very good job at showing all these stunts and we also get interviews with his widow and children as they talk about what type of guy he was. This here is certainly a funny and touching gem.Episode: A
