'The Rock' Has Encounter With Lovett School Baseball Team
Dwayne Johnson had an amazing encounter with a Buckhead prep school baseball team while stuck in Atlanta traffic over the weekend.
ATLANTA -- You never know who you'll meet in Atlanta's legendary traffic. On Sunday, members of Buckhead's Lovett School baseball team were on their way to a regional tournament when their bus passed a pickup truck driven by none other than one of the most recognizable sports and entertainment figures in the world.
The encounter happened near the 10th, 12th and 14th street interchanges in Midtown. In his social media post, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson said his truck's windows are heavily tinted, but occasionally, with the sun just right, people can see inside.
View this post on InstagramI keep my windows super tinted on my pick up truck, but with the sun at just the right angle - people see thru my front windshield at some dude who looks a lot like The Rock. Hope you boys kept your word and kicked ass. Keep workin’ hard and driver, keep your damn eyes on the road
