My dad took me to a game at Olympia some time in the 50s, and Howe was not playing due to an injury. But as we entered the stadium, there he was at the front gate, meeting and greeting the fans.
As I got older, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Howe on a few more occasions. Each time he treated me with as much respect as I had for him. A true gentleman, and great athlete. True story as some of you Michiganders might already know. Howe and Kaline were good friends, and Kaline invited Howe to batting practice in Tiger stadium. Howe, the athlete he was, put a couple in the upper deck in left field. I am sure the BP pitchers took a lot off their pitches, but still a great accomplishment. Here is Howe at batting practice. He looks good in that old English "D". Howe taking batting practice.jpg
