Back in the mid-1980's, I was stationed at Columbus Air Force Base in Columbus Mississippi. Every couple months or so, I'd drive over to Tuscaloosa or Birmingham Alabama to get a taste of a "big city".
One time I did this, I decided to just drive around Tuscaloosa and see some sights. Driving down one street, I saw an older gentleman out for a walk. I immediately recognized him as Joe Sewell. Well, I couldn't pass this up, so I turned my car around and drove up a bit past him and pulled over, stopped the engine and got out of my car. I calmly approached him and introduced myself. He proceeded to talk to me for several minutes about baseball, and particularly Bo Jackson, who had just recently come up to the majors. Mr. Sewell seemed to be really impressed with Jackson and was looking forward to seeing him do great things. After maybe 10-15 minutes, he indicated he needed to be going, so I thanked him, we shook hands, and I got back in my car and drove off.
