June 14

Today is Flag Day, and I do believe it was Flag Day, 1981 that this happened:
My first autograph was some reliever that would end up having a cup of coffee in the big leagues later on. But he was my first-ever autograph from a professional baseball player, and I can still picture exactly where I stood, and what he looked like. And, even more clearly, I can remember exactly what he said as he signed his picture from the media guide: "You gonna put this on the fridge to scare away the flies?"
He was indeed an ugly motherfucker.
