In 1969 I took a banner to Yankee Stadium I had painted with Frank Robinson's #20. I stood along the rail by the visitors' dugout before the game. A batboy offered to take it to the clubhouse since we had missed batting practice. I remember my buddy saying that we'd never see that banner again. But soon after that Frank came up the steps of the dugout with it. He brought it over and signed it for me. I still have it although the orange paint has turned sort of pink.
