Fw: After the civil rights game....

After the game we went to the rendezvous BBQ. Say down with some folks from new jersey. The gentleman across the table in the picture was from Birmingham. He attended the 16th St Baptist church as a child. 40 years ago he was 30 minutes late arriving on the day a bomb exploded and 4 little girls died in that Alabama church. I expected to are a great game, but What a great day for baseball and a great conversation after the game. I couldn't be happier.

How very interesting to get to meet a man with that history in his back pocket and "as hard as crucible steel."
