[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2877684, member: 15643"] We were there a couple of years ago with the fam. We sit a few rows up on the first base side, and there was an older man sitting behind us. We were there pretty early, not a lot of people in the stands. We began to talk, he was 94 years old, still came to every home game that he could, and had been since he was a kid! He had stories about going to Comiskey when the Yankees and Red Sox came to town. "All the good players were American League players" he said lol. He was able see Ruth, Mantle, Robinson, Musial, Aaron, Berra, Paige, Koufax, Hornsby, Gehrig, Mayes, DiMaggio, Ted Williams and even Ty Cobb as a little kid. He'd seen them all. He knows from his parents stories, but doesn't remember the games of Cobb and Ruth. He said those guys were so good about signing baseball cards, and you could write them and they'd write you back. So from that, I'm assuming he had all those autographed cards!! Said his only baseball regret was not being born sooner so that he could see Cy Young lol. [/QUOTE]
