A boyhood dream come true!
Having a grandfather who was a sportswriter had its benefits, and
knowing Mr. Klingensmith was an added benefit. On this special day
I met Manny Sanguillen, Jose Pagan and Willie Stargell. I played
catch with Dave Giusti and got tips on throwing a palmball. But this
photo with Bill Mazeroski and Roberto Clemente ranks among my most
treasured moments. The Pirates were on their way to a 1971 World Series
triumph and I had rubbed hands with two future Hall of Famers! |
