Fred YI had mentioned this in one of Ted's threads some time ago, but it is appropriate for this one as well.
Back in the late '80's-early '90's I was set up at one of Mike Riccio's weekend card shows in Stratford CT--Tommy Henrich & Mickey Owen were there to sign.
After the show I went to the motel lounge and sidled up to the bar for a couple of cold ones--Tommy had the seat right next to me & for the next 2 hours I had the greatest conversation w/ a ballplayer a fan could ever hope for! No matter what question or player I brought up, from Ruth to Mantle, Tommy had a fascinating story to tell!
I'll never forget that experience or Tommy's graciousness EVER!
