Story 94
Johnny Bench - I took my then 9 month old son to an autograph session in Baltimore that featured Johnny Bench, among others. I spent years playing baseball, including in college, modeling my catching style after his. For that reason, you can imagine how big a thrill it was to finally meet him. I am standing in line with arm loaded with my son, his diaper bag, a sharpie and various items for him to sign. JB sees my arms are full so he immediately stands up and asks to hold my son. He held my boy and played with him as we stood and talked for about 5 minutes about baseball and kids. This despite the fact that there were still 100+ people in line behind me. What a class act! They don't make them like that anymore.
