Default Ever talk to a ballplayer ?

Posted By: paulstratton

When I was in college I worked for a guy in Michigan who brought in guys to do autograph signings. Most of the time he got various Red Wing's to come in because Detroit is such a hockey town but he also got Hal Newhouser to come in for a signing at the same time. I sat there with old Hal for 3 hours while everyone got there Red Wing's crap signed and ignored us. Hardly anyone ever came over. Hal just laughed and told me stories about his days with the Tigers. It was pretty interesting hearing about his MVP seasons and the WWII era of baseball history. I'm not into autographs at all but I do have a ball I got signed by Hal and it will probably be the only signature I will ever own.
