I was lucky enough to meet Ricky Henderson at Copperstown the day before his induction to the Hall of Fame. I also was able to have breakfast with Bob Feller ((HOF 64) who allegedly was clocked at 107.4mph). It was great to hear him tell stories of how baseball was so different when he played. It was amazing to get that hour to just talk with such a hero and legend. The next day we saw a ton of HOF players (Goose Gossage, Dennis Eckersly, Hank Aaron, Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan, Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Bud Selig, Juan Marichal, Johnny Bench, Wade Boggs, Rollie Fingers) It was amazing to see so many of the greats of baseball in one place. The streets were just flooded with die-hard baseball fans. It was the best 3 days of my life.
