Not a Hall-of-Famer but...
when Will Clark was at Miss. St. my girlfriend's parents would go to the home games and hold up a sign that said Miss St Alum. One day Clark came over and started talking to them. This became a home game ritual and eventually my gf's mom invited him to their house for dinner. His favorite meal was Southern fried pork chops. He became a routine guest as she can cook now! Lemme tell ya!
They continued the friendship even when he became a star for The Giants. They had moved to Philadelphia and whenever the Giants were in town he'd come over for fried pork chops! Great guy, too!
