I think I've told this before, but it's my only story:
Around 1977 I shared an office with a guy related by marriage to Dick Howser, then third base coach for the Yankees. Howser arranged for my colleague, myself and probably a couple other guys to attend a game in Baltimore, sit with the Yankee wives, and have a beer in the clubhouse after the game. The highlight was dinner with Howser and his wife at a seafood restaurant favored by the Yankees. What sticks in my mind was his candor, especially having just met. He said Reggie was a complete jerk, despised by all, in part for his habit of flashing a wad of 100s at every opportunity.
