RiotGrip Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 On Friday evening during my commute from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, I came across a big red truck with the caption "Buffo, the world's strongest clown" the truck listed some of his feats of strength and phone book tearing and heavy juggling were on the list. As I passed the truck I got a good look at the driver and he looked back at me and flexed what appeared to be at least a 17inch arm with an impressive forearm to match. My question to you guys, especially the strongman buffs is has anyone seen him live and was he at all impressive? Or is he just a relatively local act to Pennsylvania and surrounding states. Any imput on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 According to his site he's and ex-pro baseball player. I also remember some time ago that a gay magazine was threatening to reveal a pro baseball player as being gay and everyone was wondering who it was. Now we know.

Roark Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Sorry, can't help. I was hoping his schedule included an appearance near here, but it does not. Perhaps a board member can attend one of his performances and get some details. He does not offer an email address. Perhaps he is already a grip board member?
