Very short version but I played softball for a all star traveling US Army team out of Fort Riley KS in 1982-3 and played against his team. He was not in his prime but still very good. It was understood it was an exhibition game and my team were just part of the show and not to play competitively. He was nice to the crowd but had little to do with us. Still I learned a lot and is nothing but a great memory. Glad to see his name being bantered around.
