Been a while since I have done shows (promoters used to give free autographs to table holders in the good old days) but Brooks Robinson and Lefty Gomez were the best show guests that I saw.
I used to take Polaroid photos of my son with the guests and when he posed with Brooks I took one shot. Brooks got up from his seat came out to the front of the table where my son was standing and said to me "take another one, so you get a good one." A real class act.
Lefty insisted that my son (who was about 7 at the time) come behind the table and sit on his lap for the picture. A really great gesture.
