I remember those days. I also wrote a column from that Make-a-Wish day. We were just outside the clubhouse and Doc was introduced to the boy and his parents. He talked to the boy for a while and then took him into the clubhouse for a tour and when he came out had a bottle of water for the parents. Then went to the field to continue his workout.
Enjoyed many Springs in Dunedin. As a season ticket holder in their ‘down’ era, we were rewarded with return Air fare, ticket to opener and post game dinner served by the players. Particularly remember Roy Halladay, mentoring a MakeAWish youngster insisting we talk to him…and very much appreciated that experience.
Hey Griff good read. Love the car key story. Go Jays!

That’s the plan. Thanks.
I'd be interested in seeing a biopic on Babette Bardot as well
That car keys story is a classic. I grew up with Dale Murphy as my favourite player, so I love your Murph story. A great read as always, Richard!
Thanks Kevin. Spring training is the best.

Great stuff. Excerpt from your future book I hope.
