Pete, I'm not a real autograph guy. But if I can just get there attention - like with Frank - I can usually get them to come over and chat. Frank has always been one of my heroes. He played so deep and was so great with pitch location and anticipating where the ball might be hit. It became almost routine to see frank make those great plays in short rf.
I got to chat with Willie Wilson for almost 15 minutes whiel he signed autos on the concourse. Most of the people didn't know it was him.
I asked if he knew where AO was these days and how I saw WW's first game in 1976. Sept 4 to be exact. Replaced AO in Cf.
It was just so much fun.
