I idiotically didn't take the offer to meet for breakfast and talk baseball with Carl Erskine about 6 years ago....something I have regretted since. My wife and I had just gotten married and were in the process of moving into a new home and I didn't take him up on his offer after writing to him.
Carl lives in Anderson, Indiana about 40 miles from me and is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I recently wrote him again telling him about the 55' Dodgers project I started up and to see if that offer still stood.
That team was filled with great guys who loved their fans!
