HOFers
I remember meeting Brooks Robinson as a kid. I had a 1960 Topps card my dad had given me to get signed and he remarked that he probably wouldn't have needed to shave in the morning before that picture had been taken.
Ernie Banks was super-nice to me and I remember that interaction better than most.
I remember Enos Slaughter, as well, as being genial and accommodating.
There's more than a handful where the line speed just moved me along and I didn't really get to talk to them, newer HOFers like Cal Ripken and Ozzie Smith, particularly and as I remember Killebrew and Weaver were about the same.
The most fun I had was talking to Buck O'Neil, though not a HOFer in Cooperstown.
