How was Larry? He was sort of this Larger Than Life kind of guy…at least to 12 year old me, he was. Man, I remember that day with dad. What a great memory.

Hi Kevin
You'll get a "kick" out of this......
HOF weekend 1989, we dined at the Pepper Mill Inn in Cooperstown. The hostess set us up in their Greenhouse dining room. At one end of this dining
room sat Larry Fritsch (6-foot-6 tall), and at the other end of this dining room sat Dallas Green (6-foot-5 tall).
When we were through eating, we joined Larry, and asked him why you two big guys were situated at opposite ends of the dining room ?
Larry responded...."I guess the hostess situated Dallas and I at opposite ends of the room in order to balance out the weight in room"
He certainly had a great sense of humor.
I appreciate your lunch/dinner offer, however I haven't shown-off my collection in years. Simply because, my Grandson Ron (in Maine) owns a lot of it.
But, you can see (and hear about) my collection by tuning in to my various threads which I have posted on Net54 since 2005.
