I should have put Al Kaline in my top 10 somewhere. My daughter and I waited in a light rain for him at a minor league baseball game. The other signers were Brooks Robinson and George Kell.
The signing ended early when Mr. Kell got tired, he would pass a few months later. We were about 30 people away in line, when we passed Mr. Kaline he signed a ball and my Hall of Fame 50th Anniversary book with a broad smile. He then turned and along with Brooks guided Mr. Kell to his car.
It was obvious they really cared alot obout Mr. Kell.
