Comments - A TCBA first-time-ever Three-peat for the VitaMen.

Gerry Hobbs - So anyway, yesterday (1/25/2009) I was sitting in the Palm Springs Airport and a guy sat down behind me.  I didn't really notice him until someone came up to talk to him and asked him if he remembered Joe Schmoe.  The conversation was clearly about baseball (Gary Geiger's name came up).  Later, somebody else came up and I heard, "Oh, I am your biggest fan ever", and then I heard, "What an honor it is to meet you" and then, "My husband just idolizes you".

By this time I was pretty sure that all of this must be meant for me and that the guy behind me must be my clone or that talking to the back of a famous celebrity's head had come into vogue without my noticing it.  By now my wife was nudging me and asking, "who IS that man", so I turned around to see who the impostor was and it turned out to be Yogi Berra. I guess I recognized some combination of the back of his head and the back of his ears - not sure which is bigger. I suppressed the impulse to congratulate him on the honor being chosen to share the catching duties on my TCBA Yesterday team with Jim Fanning. It seemed he was getting enough attention without me. Yogi and I were on the same flight to Phoenix, along with 50 of our closest friends. He was in row 7.  I was in row 5, so I didn't see him after we got to Phoenix. There is a strict hierarchy in airline seating, you know. I must say Yogi was most gracious to all the people who came up, ostensibly just to bother him. At least a half-dozen of them got pictures of him (and the back of my head). He has got to be 80- something and I can report that he walked smartly up the regional jet ramp by himself although his wife used a wheelchair. The important lesson I took home from all of this is that even New York Yankees can be nice people, after they've turned 80 or gotten traded.
