I had decided before going to the event that my #1 priority was to meet Bud Black and ask him who and why. I have talked to him only one time at spring training for a grand total of 5 seconds! I had hoped that this time, it would be a longer conversation. He walked toward where I was sitting and I stood up and introduced myself and asked him who his favorite player was and why. He said, “Sandy Koufax and Willie Mays.” “Sandy because he was a pitcher like he was” (Bud pitched for over 10 years with several clubs), but he didn’t give a reason for Willie Mays.
I was very happy to have accomplished my goal for the night.
