Back in the early to mid 60's my father took me to a Sunday afternoon game here at Connie Mack Stadium for a Phillie/Cardinal game (I was still in school at the time). We were sitting in left field about 5 rows back. Bill White (then of the Cards) hit a homer right behind where we were sitting and we got on tv. In 1974 I had to go to downtown Philly (by this time I was already working). I went in by train and on the way home I wound up sitting near White (this was right after he started broadcasting Yankee games and he lived in suburban Philly). We were talking for a while and I told him how he got me on tv. Then in the mid-90's Ted Z and I shared a table at the card show in Cooperstown on Induction Weekend. White's 2 daughters were customers of ours (they were in town with their father who was N.L. President at the time).
