I really liked Juan Marichal and Bobby Valentine. I was sitting in the outfield at a game when Valentine was a rookie with the Dodgers - he just seemed super happy to be there and was smiling and acknowledging the fans before the game. You could throw stuff down from the bleachers and Marichal would sign it and throw it back up. He also was great after the games.

Since my fondest pro interactions as a kid were with NFL football players, I'll also mention Lee Roy Jordan and Alex Karras. On the I.A. side - Dick Butkus
