The ex-baseball player listed off the names of the folks that sat his table on May 6. "We had a great table. The black guy from The Wire — Idris Elba, yeah, and his new wife." As fans of the HBO series recall, The Wire, in fact, featured a mostly black cast. Idris has since gone on to enjoy an extensive career in Hollywood since they show's end in 2008.
