I grew up worshiping the man, the greatest to ever put on a uniform that I saw play. and maybe the greatest ever.
When I found out what his personality was really like I was so upset that I could not believe how strong my reaction was.
Richard, I had the same reaction about Mays. When you have autograph tickets for 20 hall of famers, and Mays is the 10th one you get on that day, and after meeting him you want to just go home and forget about collecting, that's saying something. Thank goodness that Brooks Robinson was number 11 on that day. He saved baseball in my world.
