Pardon me but I really don't see what difference it makes but I have now deleted the offending answers. Also, No offense intended but since you didn't start the topic, You really have no business dictating what can and cannot be posted.

...

IIRC, Thomas also appeared in an episode of Fresh Prince. I think it was the one in which Will was the star of the basketball team and Carlton (who somehow managed to make the team) fires an air ball to lose a game. In a dream sequence, Will saw himself on his way to the NBA and he dominated Thomas in a one on one game in the gym.

Deacon Jones also appeared in a Brady Bunch episode.

Several baseball players appeared on Seinfeld, including Keith Hernandez, Roger McDowell, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill, Buck Showalter (as a manager), and Danny Tartabull.

Many more players were referenced on Seinfeld, and Phil Rizzuto's voice was used to say "Holy Cow".

Correct!! Mr. Thomas did indeed portray himself in the first season ep of Fresh Prince entitled "Courting Disaster". The original airdate of that ep was on November 12, 1990.

Deacon Jones guest starred as himself on THE ODD COUPLE once. (at least I think so. A guy by that name was on it once as a baseball player and the audience applauded when he came on. So is or was he a real baseball player?)

Leo Durocher played himself on THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES once.

Going way back - Willie Mays, The Donna Reed Show

Somebody mentioned Kareem Abdul Jabbar on Diff'rent Strokes--the interesting thing about his appearance was that he was not playing himself--he actually had a role as Arnold's teacher. He might have had another appearance on there--can't recall for sure.
