Steve-awesome experience! I had a similar interaction with Sean McDonough (broadcaster) at Fenway Park around '91....he was walking by and everyone was yelling, "Sean, Sean will you sign?" He just kept walking, but I yelled, "Mr. McDonough, you're my idol (at the time I thought I was going to the 'Cuse to be the next great broadcaster) and he came right over, signed a few things for me and couldn't have been nicer.
