I used to run some mall shows that I just loved. At that time, the malls had something called a "Community Room." It gave us the ability to be located at the mall yet still have the atmosphere of a mall. I would often get minor leaguers or retired major leaguers to come and sign free autos at the shows. A few of the guests who appeared included Juan Bonilla, Rocky Bridges, Wally Moon, Alan Knicely, Ron Hodges, Bill Dailey and Tom Parsons. Free admission, free door prizes, you could barely make your way through the shows. We raised money for the local SPCA. Honestly, what killed them was that the malls shut the community rooms. When it got out into the main body of the mall it lost its intimacy and just wasn't the same.
