They were always cool moments. There would be this retiree in a yellow shirt just standing around and a person wild go up to HIM for an autograph. Everyone there would be wondering what happened and then the guy would come back and say something like “that guy played with Satchel Paige.” Porter seemed like a really nice guy.
That is fantastic...it is little stories like this that make me think my optimism in humanity may actually survive another generation.
