A boyhood dream come true! I remember going a week before I washed my hand, after having rubbed the palms of so many of my baseball heroes. Having a grandfather who was a sportswriter had its benefits, and meeting Pirates was a big one. 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 was on my way towards ten years of age, and a very dirty hand!
