Man you guys all have some great memories.  I wish I could have seen half the stuff you guys have.

A bit off topic here but still related.

A couple cool things for me for legends I have met.  Bob Feller signed a ball for me at the Waterbury Indians game as a kid.  My Dad knew what he was doing for me that day.

Cal Ripken and a few Orioles came into a watering hole of mine one Friday after work.  They wanted a table, grabbed ours (we had our tabs comped), and I mustered up enough courage to go say hi and shake his hand.  He's a legend and total class act, IMO.  I wished him good luck as I was parting and asked he take it easy on the Yankees in jest as I put my hand on his shoulder (the dude was 40's and hard as a rock), he looks me dead in the eye and says, in all seriousness to me... "we go out on the field looking to win every game we go out out there and play" and then I cowered away with my tail between my legs.  Such a great experience.  There is likely none better a guy around than he is.
