Mickey Mantle
1985 I was 11 years and Mickey Mantle was at a small card shop in Brooklyn, NY. My dad took my friend and I. When we finally got to the table Mickey signed our items and we thanked him and started to walk away.
Mickey said, "Hey guys you're walking off and your not going to let me shake your hand." I stopped in my tracks and thought Mickey Mantle wants to shake my hand...WOW! So we went back shook his hand and he said to my dad, "I see you have a camera lets get a group shot." It was really nice on his part to take a couple of minutes of his time to reach out to us. I'll always remember that day.
