It's neat seeing a living legend. I had a few more autographs when I was a kid playing baseball. I did have Joe Altobelli's. I don't remember specific players, or where they are right now. Joe Altobelli who was the Red Wings manager at the time. He came to are baseball banquet every year with some of the current Red Wings to sign autographs for us kids. He later coached the Baltimore Orioles to a world series win. Some of those players were later to become famous players. Many past notables came from Rochester. The most notable in my time, Cal Ripken Jr. My best friend's father won box seats for Redwings home season ticket games. I went to most every home game that season. My Father through his working travels (customer/Budwiser) in St. Louis, once brought me back a baseball. It was not autographed by a player, but from a baseball empire of the day, named Ed Sudol. I thought the world of that Ball. The customer took him to a ballgame after work. After the game they walked onto the field. The empire struck up a conversation with my father. He gave my dad that ball for me.
