In middle school, during baseball season, Lou Brock was in town at an autograph event at my favorite card shop. But because of practice I couldn't go. My mom went for me. After practice, I got my mom to take me back to the shop to see if he was still there. The shop had closed up, but the owner liked me well enough that he let me in so I could take a photo with Lou. Lou didn't just take a picture, but he initiated conversation with me and was asking me question after question after question. He made the atmosphere so relaxed that it was easy to stand there and yak away. Great day, and great guy.
