When I was in the Army in the early 90's in NC, I met Harmon Killebrew at a signing at a new department store in the local mall. He was very nice, chatted a little with everyone, and offered to personalize the autograph any way you wanted it. Even with all the problems he had after he retired, he was a total class act.
I also had a chance to meet a non-HOF, Chuck Tanner, around 15 years ago after he spoke at my college. Great guy. You could tell after being with him for 5 minutes that he truly loved the game of baseball.
