Today, another Hall of Famer was lost when Ralph Kiner passed away this morning at the age of 91. He was really nice to Chris, Drew, Adam, Joe and I this summer when we met him during an autograph signing. I have to commend the guy for getting out of the house at 90 (at that time) and meeting and greeting fans.
Kiner took the time to painstakingly sign the two baseballs we had and was nice enough to speak to Chris. I'm really sad to see him go, but he leaves a legacy as one of the greatest power hitters of all time.
So, I leave you all with this overlong video of Mr. Kiner signing autographs for us. Special thanks to my good friend, Drew, who shot the video.
I'll be back on later tonight hopefully to resume my Fan Fest posts. If I don't get one on tonight, I'm sure you understand why.
