I was (am) a diehard Mets fan, but when Reggie came to town, I started quickly switching from Channel 9 to Channel 11 to catch his at-bats each night. Each one was a spectacle of entertainment in its own right. Such excitement during those summer nights!!! Eventually I started sending him fan letters and getting cards autographed, but my jewel is the Reggie Bar wrapper that he autographed for me (I have another one squirreled away somewhere). It's a bit tough to see as it's ballpoint pen on wax paper, but this occupies a huge place in my heart...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
