I stood there looking about to cry. Warren Spahn walked over, said to me to forget about that, and asked if he could sign the ball for me.

HOF or not, it's stuff like that which sticks for me. I have ZERO Gibson cards in my collection. There are many Spahn items in my collection.
Yeah, leaves a forever bad taste in your mouth. That's why i have zero Mays cards in my collection
