I'll never forget it
One of the best experiences I've had at these last two Nationals (my only two Nationals) was meeting Bart Starr. My friend and I were leaving Embassy Suites, bags in hand, heading to the Cubs game. When we got on the crowded hotel elevator, I found myself staring at the University of Alabama and Green Bay Packer great. I reached out my hand and introduced myself. He kindly shook my hand and, hearing my Southern accent, asked "Where do you call home, son?" I proudly said "Alabama!", which is where I grew up. He replied, "We live in Birmingham." I don't know why, but I didn't take a picture nor did I ask for an autograph, but no matter. I'll never forget it.
