One of the coolest people I’ve encountered in major league sports is now retired NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace. He’s a fun follow on twitter.

Miguel Cabrera is obviously one of the biggest names in baseball but is really cool with fans. Always chatting it up with people in the stands. This was really cool.

Fan heckles Cabrera and is rewarded was a ball and bat.

You remind me of a story I read some time ago involving Don Landrum, a nondescript outfielder of the 1960s. When Landrum became a Cub, a couple of the Wrigley bleacher bums decided to make his life miserable for who knew what reason. It drove Landrum slightly nuts until he took matters into their own hands and blew them to assorted souvenirs, bric-a-brac, and even lunch at the ballpark or whatever.

Those fans became huge Landrum fans. The problem was, while they were crawling all over him Landrum went on a tear. When he made peace with them, his hitting suffered. Only the Cubs . . .

A good show to see the class acts in baseball is Intentional Talk on MLB network. For the most part they interview the funny and classier players. Making fun of Millar is always a plus too.

I’m glad to see that Miggy hasn’t become a repeat offender since his DUI bust in Florida back in 2011.
