WOW that Bench story SUCKS! Sorry to hear that. My stories have better endings for me. My father used to produce card shows back in the mid 80's to early 90's and I got to sit with many players to help them get the stuff signed and move the line along. I was able to spend the afternoon with really great guys like Duke Snider, Eddie Mathews, Stan Musial (he bought ME lunch and we sat and talked, just the 2 of us), Fergie Jenkins, Bob Gibson (a real jerk to the paying customers but super nice to me), Don Drysdale, Robin Roberts, Billy Pierce, Ray Dandridge, Steve Garvey and the biggest ass of them all Pete Rose. He was a complete douche the whole time.
