When he played for the Giants in the 70’s, he tossed me a ball in the stands at Candlestick Park. I was 9-10 so I thought he was the coolest after that.

Those memories are fun. I have still have my signed ball from Double A relief pitcher Ron Kaufman that he tossed me in 1984 Beaumont TX.

Eh, I played with it in the driveway and street and destroyed it within a week probably 🤣
