A great Feller
Back in the early- to mid-90s, My dad and I would attend a large card show in Lilburn, GA that frequently hosted signing tables. I was 10 or 12 at the time and was one of the few kids who had a respect for the glory days of baseball and was excited when I found out that Feller was going to be there. My dad and I waited in line (it wasn't too long) and when we got to the legend, he struck up a friendly conversation with me...he smiled the whole time. I think he appreciated seeing younger people like me show an interest in the old-timers. It's one of my best baseball memories and I'll always be grateful to him for it.
