Years ago I wrote him, asking for an autograph. He signed an index card I'd sent, and mailed it back. I know that a time came when he'd ask for $ to sign, but I don't doubt folks like us wore him out asking for autographs. He sent a not along when he returned my index card. The man could put wood on a ball hard, and he played for a few teams that made it possible for pitchers to pitch around him. I wish his family well.
