5. The time I met Bob Feller

In fifth grade, I wrote a book report on Feller’s biography. The following summer, at one of the many minor league baseball games my father took me to, Feller was there for some reason (likely just a paid appearance). During the game, I spotted him walking by and ran down to get his autograph. After telling him about my book report, he sat with us for a few minutes and chatted. Nothing important that I remember, but for an eleven year old baseball fan, it was a moment I’ll never forget.
