I was a senior in high school and one of my buddies got the idea that we would drive to Cooperstown for that years swearing in ceremony. Was 1981 or 82. We drove up overnight and parked right across from the HOF. Slept in the car. I bought a baseball for signatures, and we managed to position ourselves somehow where the entire line of hall of famers had to walk past us to go to some reception. Saw everyone. Mays, DiMaggio. Most politely declined to autograph my ball. Al Kaline stopped and signed and was nice as could be. Only signature I got. Still have the ball somewhere. RIP Al. Thanks for the nice moment.
