My all time favorite was the St. Louis National. Ric was telling some of his buddies at his booth the story of a ball that he had just purchased. The ball was boldly signed by Ruth on the sweet spot with a faint Goose Goslin (I think it was) on one of the side panels.

Ric said, "I was doing this the ball (gestures to be lightly turning the ball in the palm of his hands) and the Goslin signature just fell off."

I turned to my partner at the time and we just looked at each other in disbelief.

I have never done business with the man since.
