I loved Roy Stampanella. He was always available on the Stadium Club Level to shake your hand. (the best he could) His wife Roxy would carry that stamp and when she didn't have it with her, she would sign for him when people would ask him for his autograph. He was a class act! He never turned away anyone would approach him. He just wanted to be part of it and the Dodgers loved him back. He had a special spot for his wheelchair to the left of home plate with 1 seat for his wife. He was approachable to everyone on that club level and I don't think I ever saw him with-out a smile.
Ross Porter's seats were in back of ours and Don Drysdale's were in front. I'll never forget Annie taking video of the tribute to Don when he passed. She was there with the kids & I cried like a baby. Now they are all stupid Corporate boxes.
I loathe the Dodgers.Those were the days my friends.
