I collect Bobby Richardson cards. Since he's from my town and been a friend for a long time. We have a breakfast group known as the ROMEO club. (Retired old men eating out.)
Bobby is a true gentleman and knows no strangers. If someone wants to meet him, he always makes the person feel like Bobby wanted to meet them.
I've always kidded him that I can afford his cards, I can't afford Mickey Mantles. Though I do have a raw 1952 Mantle Topps that I've had since a kid. Probably a 3 at best.
Always someone in the sports world coming through and I've got to meet people I never would have otherwise. Bobby has generously given me many items of memorabilia with original autographs and such.
It's nice to still be in touch with the glory days as you can mention a name and Bobby has a story about them.
Those who know or have met Bobby Richardson know what a genuine person he is.
