Default Spahn is gone

"-Thats pretty horrible, to say that to a kid just wanting your autograph. He was a great pitcher, but after hearing this, I have lost almost all respect for him....amazing"


When I was a kid - and the 1989 Donruss set came out - I sent index cards and that 1989 Donruss Warren Spahn card to him for autographs. I know I sent him more than one request. He was always prompt in signing my items [for free] - and he seemed like a really nice guy. Maybe just on the basis of that - but for someone who was just getting to be a teenager - to have a HOF'er give me a bunch of free signatures....man, that impressed me.
