I first met him in regards to an article I was writing about the whereabouts of the ball for a horrible weekly publication.
A year later, DeLillo would dedicate the first 10% of his book to the event and throughout as a collector who was enthralled by the event. A few weeks after the publication of Underworld, I get a phone call and it's Bobby, asking what this "Underworld" was? I explained to him, and he noted that he would very much like to meet the author, who is quite private. I contacted DeLillo, who I knew a little at the time, and the two had lunch a few weeks later. A few months later I met up with Thomson for lunch. His health had been bad the last few years and he will be missed. He was one of my favorite athletes as he treated everyone with kindess. DanC
