Dan LundriganI was watching a Red Sox ballgame a while back on NESN and it was a rain delay so they aired a piece with David Wells.I don`t remember how the subject came up but he and Sam Horn when they were High-School players were at Aneheim Stadium for a workout for scouts or something like that and David Wells meets Reggie Jackson in the locker room and asks if he would sign a ball for him.Reggie sitting down doesn`t even look up at him or say anything.Wells starts to walk away empty handed then Reggie says hey kid yeah I`ll sign it.So Wells says thanks Reggie I really appreciate it and Reggie says very arrogantly yeah right!Wells says man I was so PISSED!Next thing Wells says HEY REGGIE!Reggie looks up and Wells whips the ball in the trash!Watching all this coming out of David Wells` mouth was priceless!I was cracking up after that!
Warren Spahnn may be gone but his thread LIVES ON!
