When I was in college, I worked at a souvenir stand at Dodger Stadium. One day before a game, Tommy was giving a speech in the stands to a group from some company that I presume paid him to do it. I stood nearby and listened. We were in the Reserved Level, which in right field is as high as it gets. In the middle of his speech, Jerry Reuss yells as loud as he can from the field, "Hey Tommy -- from down here you are wider than you are tall!" Without missing a beat, Tommy looked down and yelled, "And from up here, you are just as big of an a**hole!" Everybody got a huge laugh. They both were/are great guys.
