No one will ever beat Buck though...

Growing up, I worked with a promoter for years in Albany, NY. The finest autograph guest I ever worked with was Buck O'Neill. Buck took the time to talk with EVERYONE, and would invite them to stay on stage while he finished his story. After the appearance was done, he would walk around the show to meet the dealers and browse the cards. Of course, he would NEVER refuse an autograph request while walking around either. At one signing I worked with, Buck even sang his rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" over the PA system to all in attendance.

What a class act. I first met Buck when I was a 12 year old kid... and those memories will stay with me forever.
