Frank WakefieldTed, your Yankee prejudice shows, thinking Mize the nicest.
I've seen Mr. Musial in person, he seemed very nice. I wrote him and got him to sign a frame mat, that I was putting around a Musial Exhibit card. He personalized it to my Dad for his birthday. Dad was quite impressed with it, having listened to Cardinals games on the radio in the 40s.
I've spoken with Mr. Schoendienst. A really nice man. And he has to be way up there among folks who've seen the most ballgames.
Never met Mize or Slaughter, but Slaughter seems grateful to have been given a chance to play in the majors.
I've heard Mr. White is a very thoughtful, intelligent fellow. I'd love to meet him. I remember laying in the floor in 1964, listening to games on the radio, through the static. Bill White could put the hurt on the ball.
