Not me but my Uncle Sam way back in 1958 at the World Series.

Pic of my son with Andrew Shaw from the Chicago Blackhawks. He got to play a game of shinny with him and I couldn't wipe the smile from his face! :)

Kinda flat.

They wouldn't even look at me.

I'm the one on the right....:p

For Dan Bretta:

Pudge
 

Feb 12, 1999 in Breckenridge, Colorado. Just came off the 4 o'clock Run and saw him in the ski lodge. Asked to get a picture and he jumped up and went outside with us. Nice interaction......good guy.

And true story.....right after taking the picture with him, I had to use the restroom. He just happened to walk in right after me and proceeded to take the loudest dump I've heard.

True story.

Darn it, :mad: can't find my photo with Bert Campaneris, probably being used as book mark in one of my many unread books. :p

But I do have this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!! During my Trenton Thunder days:

Me, then Rex Hudler -- late '90's -- pretty impressive.:)

Actually, one of the greatest guy I've ever known is on far right, John Coletta, our accountant. Great sense of humor and personally kept Coors Light in the black for many years. Every Monday after the Super Bowl he would take as a personal day (He knew he wouldn't be doing well that day). Even though I sadly lost contact with him, I still celebrated "Coletta Day" two days ago !!!

I have no bathroom stories on either. :rolleyes:

Fun stuff, Scott

Sandy...Still a Giants fan though

Me with a couple Yankees

Big Lee Smith and myself

Met Campy at Cubs fantasy camp maybe 14 years ago. He signed a ball for me and it is still in my autographed baseball collection

I don't ever get tired of showing this one off. From a Spokane Indians game. Wayne could not have been nicer.

In my job I cross paths with lots of people who in this day and age would call for a "selfie", but it's not my style. When I spent a few hours at the Gold Glove Awards this past fall, I was in a total of zero pictures, but over the course of the last few years, I have met two people who I needed to get my picture with, and they were both very nice about the intrusion.

My thanks to both Mrs. Clemente and Mr. Olbermann.

Great stories and pics. Thanks for sharing!

Ted, that is a great photo. Thanks for sharing.

That photo is great on so many levels.

Great picture!! :eek::eek:

Awesome picture!!! What year was it taken? Having retired from the Navy after 30 years of service, I love seeing pictures like this! Awesome!

2001 with "Grapes"

I'm number 17.

Until I discovered that the local minor league team brings in players every now and again for signings, my sports photos were few and far between. Aside from some early Mariners photo day shots, I met Bob Feller at a card shop. That was it. Then, I got a bunch of autographs at the 2001 Fan Fest, but was alone so didn't have any photos taken with any of them (Bob Gibson, Enos Slaughter, Orlando Cepeda, Carl Erskine, Rico Carty, Jim Rice, Pedro Guerrero, etc) except one…Garvey!

Gaylord Perry was the first MiLB event and I didn't try to get a photo with him and my boys didn't want to pose with him either. He was kind of a grouch too…

And these are just too good not to share. 1980 Mariners photo night. Sporting a vintage look that night, but love that I have these now all these years later.

Hurst, dewey, barret, rice and boggs....gotta be a 1988 photo?

saaaaaaaawx

wow....im sure a great story....

this generation (last 20 years) have no idea how good he was....

Me w/ a couple of Red Sox--Marty Barrett & Wade Boggs--getting my Longest Game Press Pass signed.

Met Austin Dillon in Martinsville .We got pit passes through my son , he was a Front Tire Carrier

I liked the Sugar Ray and the Great one, but Grapes takes the cake. I'm jealous.

2001 with "Grapes"[/QUOTE]

walking to our seats and who do i see seating in one of our seats? My childhood hero Steve Garvey. He was giving a personal tour of the stadium to some people and he had seen them to their seats. I wasn't going to ask him to move so just sat next to him and had a 20 min conversation about baseball. During which there were people coming by for autographs and he said i acted as his agent since i was handing him the stuff to sign :D
Class act all the way. Wow! i still get goose bumps thinking about that day
A thrill of lifetime which one can't put words to it. Thank you Greg for picking those seats and that particular game ;)

Pretty impressive!

His signature is so legible, nobody has to guess. I remember he got hit by a pitch the night before so I asked him about it. This Polaroid is the only photo I was ever in with a ballplayer. The signature came out of my Snoopy autograph book. Summers' 1979 and 1980 stats with the Tigers were Hall of Fame-quality and seemed to come out of nowhere. Interestingly, he was in the 1984 World Series but as a Padre. He struck out in his only AB. Sadly, Champ died of kidney cancer in 2012.

I gotta find the picture of me and Bob Stanley, i was like 9 years old ( It was like 1989) My dad says he rememembers we asking him (my father) after the signing, if Bob feels bad that he didnt get most of the blame for blowing game 6...LOLOL... 9 years old, and i was still bitter

Man, thats awesome... you still play ball? Post Leagues?

Thanks. Beer-league slow-pitch is all I can manage these days.

Michael,
I attended almost every home game that year.
It was a blast following those guys throughout their MLB careers.
Thanks for sharing.

Me with the Duke and PeeWee at Ebbets Field. August 1957.

That's a great story.

Great thread. I think we needed this.
Sadly, I don't think I can contribute.

Amazing! Would love to hear more about that. We need the story!
