Al - Kiner was apparently an obsessive celebrity sniffer of sorts, and also an even more obsessive autograph hound. During his time as a broadcaster, he once found himself on a cross-country plane flight with actor Paul Newman. Of course, they were both in the first-class section, but seated some distance apart. Ralph went up the aisle to introduce himself and asked Newman to sign several times, but the annoyed star refused, said he had never heard of Kiner, and the two had an angry exchange in front some amazed fellow passengers. Apparently, Ralph had a lot more luck with the female stars.
