I met him on one of those rare occasions the Cubs and White Sox played at Sox Park.. I was a dedicated Sox fan, but just loved Andy after having him stop and sign all of our programs..
We were all just a bunch of little kids, and wearing White Sox caps, but he smiled and answered all of our stupid questions.. Quite a guy indeed, and he will be missed at least by guys like me.. :)
He lived a long life and I hope his passing was as swift and sure as he was in the field. Guys like him knew what he meant to youngsters, back in the day when we thought that ballplayers were ten feet tall.
