Oh I've heard plenty of stories about the three of them. I've had some good experiences with former players in the modern day, and bad ones. To get their autograph in person is an incredible feeling though, even if they are a bit of a jerk.

The only one I met at a show was Joe DiMaggio at a Gloria Rothstein White Plains show. He was impeccably dressed in a nice suit and tie and wasn't rude, just quiet. I spent an evening with Mickey Mantle at a customer event I hosted. He also was quiet in the beginning, but after he had a drink or two he became very friendly and was fun for all the guests to be around. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet Ted Williams. I tried to hire him for a different customer event but neither his price non his conditions were reasonable. In all fairness, his son John Henry was doing the negotiations for his dad and his terms may have reflected his dad's lack of interest in doing this type of event.

Maybe Rob Lifson could answer this, wonder if this was the show where all of the original T206 proofs were discovered. I remember him saying it was in the 1980s in New York City.

There is a chance. Maybe he'll check out the forum and let us know. That was indeed a historical find!

Wonder if the photo inside the Power Memorial gymnasium was the same court where Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played high school basketball in NYC?
