Kim and I wished we would of had at least one Daughter out of 3 boys, but, obviously not meant to be....gotta' say tho' it was so much easier showing up to Sports Memorabilia Shows with a Son in LL. Son's who Greats like DiMaggio, Williams, Koufax, Kaline, Mantle, Aaron, Mays, M. Ali, but most of all Stan The Man Musial.......
as Son's or Boys, are great mediums to get these HOF'ers (few known for their public interaction), to speak and tell a story or ask as much, from my boys. I often wondered if a Girl/Daughter would of got as much attention or direct line of questions from the likes of these HOF signature moments.....
Stan the Man Musial was by far the single most open, inter-active Ball Player who struck up a easy convo with my Son and I, when he autographed an old 1950s Pic.....Musial and these others had the clout to put Show Promoters in their places, when it came to Public Convo time, something all Promoter's frown upon, so they can keep the lines moving, which means more $$$$ in their own coffers.....It was hilarious how Musial simply told the Promoter, I will Personalize any Fans Picture, and "If I feel like it I will have a few words with whomever I please"....hilarious to see a grown man Promoter stomp off with a temper tantrum.....
In other cases, Like Andre Dawson and Kirk Gibson, those two f'kers were the 2 single rudest autographs I ever obtained at a Collectibles Show.,,..,by far the rudest fks who did not so much as acknowledge any Fan what so ever....POS', they may of been good ball players, but both Gibby and Dawson, were the epitome of stuck up sell out ASSES.....I guess they lacked the balls to put a promoter in His place, but on the other hand, they would of put the promoter in their places, had they of cared to begin with to interact, which obviously neither did...Pieces of Shit....,they were,....
