I met many of the NFL stars of the late '60s when I was a kid - Alex Karras and Lee Roy Jordan were great jokers and both obviously loved kids. Dick Butkus was an a-hole and obviously didn't. Funny how you never forget things like that, especially when they happen to you as a kid.

I know this contradicts most people's experiences, but Steve Carlton seemed to like signing for kids, certainly not in any hurry to get away from us - but that was back in '73.
