Actually, in '86 we went to spring training and got tons of
autographs, including Mattingly, Whitey, Gator, Goose, Willie
Randolph, Rickey Henderson and the Boss. One night, my
brothers and I were in the hotel lobby, waiting outside the bar for
autographs, and out walked Rock Raines. I asked him for his
autograph, and he noticed that he already signed my glove. So
I flipped the glove over, and he said, "Oh, that's okay, then."
Dude was hammered.
