Lou Brock was the best autograph experience I ever had. Ralph Branca and Bobby Thomson are another pair that were extremely friendly.
I missed the Lou Brock signing because I was at baseball practice. My mom went and stood in for my ticket number. She came and got me so I could go get a photo if he was still around. I showed up still in cleats I think. The owner liked me and let me in after hours. Brock was just in storytelling mode. He stopped, introduced himself to me, asked me personal questions, and then told me stories about his amateur career and how he got "on the radar" with the Scouts when they had come to see the pitcher that day. He made me feel like a million bucks.
Cardinals players represent a classy organization. They in turn end up becoming classy.
