Your experiences with HOF'ers

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Steve, that is what I expected from Seaver but have always been a fan. I suppose the exposure the big stars received over the years jaded them toward fans. I am also sure they have encountered some real jerks at times. But I still think that if you are receiving money you should perform the service in a nice manner.

Scott, that is hilarious and it goes back to my theory about old football players, really pretty nice guys for the most part.

Last week I went to a local event that featured a former Arkansas Razorback as the speaker, Ken Hatfield. I stuck around a few minutes and had him sign a mini helmet and the cover of the 1964 Texas program. He was never a pro but was a very successful D-I coach. What a nice man. He seemed appreciative that I asked.

I remember listening to that 1964 Arkansas-Texas game as a ten year old with my Dad. When Hatfield took back a punt 81 yards for a TD we both started jumping up and down, memories like that are special I suppose for all of us. I took the mini helmet to Dad who turns 94 next week.

I took him a Randy White helmet back before Christmas, White and Lee Roy Jordan were his favorite all-time Cowboys. Dad used to love Bear Bryant's old line about Jordan; "If they stay in the stadium Lee Roy will get 'em."

Jordan was my favorite player, so getting to meet him and have such an interesting interaction was priceless. Don Meredith was another of my favorites who was supposed to be there that day, but he missed it.
