Gus Zernial RIP
I remember in 1979 at was at a Fresno State Basketball game with my friend as 13 year olds and walking up to Gus for an autograph (we all had season tickets and knew he would be there). Nervously we look up to this towering man and he gladly signed my ball "Best Wishes Dave, Gus Zernial."
It is the ONLY autographed baseball I own....no authentication needed. Growing up in Fresno he was a treasured figure in the community.
Sweet man and another big loss for baseball!
