If you're referring to the great Buck Leonard, I agree, although I probably didn't appreciate the thrill of getting to meet him as much as I should have. It was at Cooperstown during his inauguration in 1973, but I was just a 13-year-old kid at the time. I did get autographs of each of those guys on a ball, and then I played with the ball until they all faded away! What a dumb kid I was.
