This guy was so rude to me in 1985 at Indy it was very sobering. I was young back then had bought a Game-Used Cincy Royals Jersey of his at a Card Show in Cincy. Wife and I saw him on 2nd floor, NO one else around. I was probably 10 feet from him, showed it to him and before I could ask him to sign he said and I quote, “Where’d you get that you stole that!” Wow, I was totally caught off guard. Not a very nice man. BTW got pics and autos from a whole bunch of All Stars and Legends. Got West, Ted Turner, Johnny Most, Bob Cousy, and many many more. We still had fun!

Funny thing is we experienced Racism for the first time in my White Life. I knew before and then Racism is BAD thing! Even slightly.

The 2nd time was not intentional and really pretty funny. Wife and I stopped at the Evansville Mariot (Changes names) to use the rest room. There were only Black people we saw going in and one of them ask if we had reservations? We said no just stopping in a minute. On the way out he said that the Indiana Black Motorcycle Group had rented the whole Hotel. We all just laughed, was so funny. They were so nice too!
