One of the truly monumental figures in baseball history. I met him when I was 9 years old, an indelible early memory of mine as he took me by the hand and we rode together in a tiny elevator to the second floor of the Washington team offices. It blows my mind that I remember being with this man who was born four years after the end of the Civil War.
