Long before Stefan Frei’s memorialized save and Román Torres’ MLS Cup-winning penalty kick; before Nelson Valdez’s clutch headers and Jordan Morris’s Flu Game; before Deuce and Oba’s tandem and Djimi’s long-distance stunner; before the Supporters’ Shield, Mario Martinez’s golazo and Ozzie’s Open Cup heroics; and even before Fredy’s brace on Opening Day 2009, Drew Carey showed up on Nov. 12, 2007, to The George and Dragon Pub.
