My Baseball Story

I also have a mini baseball collection. About 30 some years ago, I went to a baseball card show in Atlantic City, at the Playboy Hotel. There were some great players there signing autographs for free, like Joe DiMaggio, but you couldn’t get near those guys. One player you could approach was Eddie Matthews. As I stepped up to his table, and handed over my baseball, I said, “Could you make it out to Walter?”. A security guard at his side cut me off, and barked out, “No personalized autographs!”. Mr. Matthews just whispered to me, “Walter?”. When I got the ball back, it said, “To Walter, Good Luck, Eddie Matthews”. What a gentleman!
