Best Man Emeritus
Mark's father. He's known him since birth. One of the best days of Mark's life came when he and his dad drove to Dyersville, Iowa to stand in the outfield and "have a catch" on the Field of Dreams on Father's Day. That's pretty hard to top! As Best Man Emeritus, Mark's dad gets all the right and privileges of being a Best Man but he gets to sit down during the ceremony.
Best Man
Mark's brother and tormentor as a child. Mark always wanted to be like Rich and most of the things Mark tried to emulate about his big brother were good things. The other things were really, really fun. Mark was the Best Man in Rich's wedding... twice.
Best Man
The Kindergarten Christmas Concert at Normandy Elementary School was the night when the morning kindergarten class was merged with the afternoon kindergarten class. Students had to wear name tags. Mark and Marc saw each other's name tags and Mark was instantly confused because Marc misspelled his name. That was 48 years ago. Mark was the Best Man in Marc's wedding.
Best Man
Mark and Adam have been friends since the 6th grade and were housemates (no, not roommates. That's very different) for 9 years. They are two of the founding fathers of the annual Baseball Trip (BBT). Mark was the Best Man in Adam's wedding.
Best Man
Mark met Steve on the second day of college when they both lived in Washington Hall at Ohio University.

Mark was a Groomsman in Steve's wedding.
