Lasorda was doing the table setup at Vero the last few years there, I think he realized if he just set aside time in the day and made it organized that he wouldn't be hounded all day long. It works out great for him and for fans alike. In Vero he was very pleasant at the table and stayed until everyone that wanted a signature got through.
Also, I totally agree about Mattingly being a class act. He was and is my favorite all-time player and he has never been anything but gracious every time I've seen him. Whoever said "don't meet your heroes" clearly wasn't talking about Donnie Baseball.
