Yes Gary thats what he said , Also looks at autograph collecting as sort of silly, which is maybe what some people would say about his pitching techniques
He has said that if kids want to have heros they should be their mother or father or school teacher. Not some guy that can throw or hit a baseball better than anyone else.
And actually he's a nice guy and enjoys talking about baseball and unlike many contemporary ball players knows alot about the history of the game. I first met him back in 1990 in the Florida Senior league. He eventually did a private signing with Bill Corcoran and I but it took me 10 years to talk him into it. And even then said that he did it in the hopes that collectors would stop asking him for autographs.
