Richard SimonBest experience - I was set up at a show in Staten Island. Brooks Robinson was an autograph guest. This was in the days when dealers actually were given free autographs by the promoters.
My son (probably around 9-10 yrs old at the time) worked with me at my table and would get on line to get the autographs. I had a camera with me to take a picture of the guest with my son. When Robinson saw that I was taking a photo he stopped the line, came out to the front of the table to pose with my son. He then insisted that I take another picture to make sure I got a good one.
A truly classy guy.
