Ernie Banks at cubs camp. A group of us were drinking beer with Ernie in his hotel room at the Dobson Ranch Inn in Mesa Arizona. He asked me who my boss was and i told him my wife was my boss. He had me call her on my cell and he chatted with her for maybe 5 minutes asking her if she was my boss. Afterwards he said that he knew she was the boss before I had called her and told me go go get him a soft drink. He was a little senile but pure class.
Also was at Cubs camp in 2002 and Fergie Jenkins asked if he and his wife could sit with my wife and myself at the week end final awards banquet. Couln't tell a HOF er no on that request.
Have also met Billy Williams through the camp.
All 3 men were pure class in my opinion.
