I was visiting my uncle in the New York area and he knew I was a huge baseball fan and more specifically the Cubs. Uncle knew someone that had connections at Ebbets Field and as luck would have it the Cubs were in town. This man knew Chuck Tanner who at that time was a Cub so this man calls Chuck over during BP and Chuck gives me a ball and I get a picture with him. After that we were able to gain access to the tunnel which led to the team clubhouses where we waited and had the ball autographed by both teams as they walked by (Campy is on the ball. One of the last games he played sadly). In addition I had a chance to have my picture taken with both Duke and PeeWee as well as four members of the Cubs team. My only disappointment was that my hero Mr. Cub Ernie Banks did not come by. After the pictures were developed this same friend took these two pictures back to Ebbets to have them autographed. Great memories.
