I don't know if this is awesome, or sad.

Stan The Man was of the most fan friendly and accessable superstars the game has ever seen and probably will ever see. I remember when George Kell was alive, he owned an Chevy dealership about 15 miles from where I am and it was widely known that if you ever wanted anything signed, or just wanted to stop and chat, then stop by his dealership any time of the day and he would greet you at the door. It might be just because he was back in his hometown, but he wasn't just a nice HOF ballplayer...he was an extremely approachable and nice person. That's a generational thing IMO.

100% true...Todays generation SUCKS at times....

I don't know if Stan enjoyed signing or didn't, but I don't think there'd be a cooler feeling than being an old man and people STILL clamoring for your signature. Seems like that would provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment that many elderly probably die without experiencing

I cant remember what athlete made the comment but he said something along the line of "Once people stop asking you for your autograph you know people have forgotten about you and the impact you had on the game." I don't know who was more generous over the years with signing Musial or Kaline. All I know is that I got some nice piece TTM years ago.
