Back in the mid 1990's, Atlanta was playing the Reds in Cincinnati and the Reds just finished beating the Braves by 10 or so runs during a weeknight game.
My Dad and I were at the game and while walking to our car, which was parked at Fountain Square in Downtown Cincinnati, I noted to my Dad that Don Sutton was walking immediately behind us; by himself and carrying his briefcase.
Don had just finished announcing the game for the Braves. We stopped at a street corner to wait for the traffic light and talked to Don for a few minutes and asked him why he was not riding the team bus back to the hotel. He politely said that he wanted no part of being on the team bus as manager Bobby Cox was really giving the team an ear full for a terrible loss. Don said he knew what was best and decided to walk back to the hotel. This was the only time I had the chance to meet Don and he was a complete gentleman to talk to my Dad and I. We shook hands and went our separate ways. He took the time to talk to us on a street corner in Cincinnati and it was very much appreciated and gave my Dad and I a story that will last a lifetime.
