It was nice to meet a childhood hero

I had a few favorite Tigers growing up. One was Rick Leach who I met when i was in second grade and I now had a chance to meet and shake hands with a second, Milt Wilcox. Rick Leach had his trials but always seemed to make time for the youngsters. I was pleasantly surprised on how professinal and down to earth Mr Wilcox was. I am sure you have gotten this in the past but I just wanted to say thanks from a fan. I actually went home and dug out my 1984 tops, fleer and Dunross tigers albums and remebered how excited I was for the 1984 season. Thanks for the memories and being the class act you are !!!!!!
