My mother was a nurse and worked with Mrs. Oletha May, mother of then-Angels and later-Yankees pitcher Rudy May. I guess they got to talking about baseball and their baseball crazy sons (I was 13 at the time).
One day the Angels are in town and I'm on my way to Mrs May's house to meet Rudy. Talk about star-struck! Sandy Alomar was there to as a bonus. I'm sure I was dumbstruck, as I don't really remember what I did or said but I know I was in awe being in the presence of two genuine professional baseball players. I had brought a Little League type ball to get signed which they both did an this card of Rudy.
Both men were nice as could be.
