Mays
I was too young to register anything but here's what my father experienced.
Mays was his hero growing up. Mays and Maris. Willie did a show for my dad. When he picked him up at the airport everything was fine. They talked baseball and stats. He took him to the hotel and picked him up a few hours later. He was a completely different person. Rude, abrasive, ill tempered. It was night and day. Unfortunately, he treated the show attendees, that paid to meet him and get his autograph, like turds.
At that moment my father lost all respect for Mr. Mays and no longer valued him as an essential part of his collection.
