Did you ever go to Al's house in Tampa ?
I went several times to his house and 9 out of 10 times he was in a housecoat with the AC running at about 60 degrees but he was always gracious and would sign 3 items for me . At one time he was considered a very hard autograph to get because he wouldn't do shows , but he answered mail and signed at his house. Then he started doing private signings for the National Pastime. Another great guy was visiting Johnny van der Meer at his house . He' d always invite you in and ask if you wanted anything to drink and then he 'd sign whatever you brought him and then he'd start telling stories and pull out the memorabilia from his career . He once called Early Wynn while I was there and wanted me to go to Early's house but he was out and wouldn't be home until later .
