    I was there for Reggies. Was working PD security at that game. Young kid ended up with the ball. We escorted him and his Dad downstairs to the locker room after the game. He as so excited to meet Reggie. He gave him the ball and Reggie gave that kid everything under the sun with his personal signature on it. Took photos and he signed and sent them to him too. That ball meant a lot to Reggie.

    I love the game of baseball when I look back at these classic games. I go back to my time as a young man and watch a baseball game with my Dad. We both could spend hours watching and hearing my Dad, giving his point of view as if he were a manager and talking about strategy. Thank you, baseball, for giving the best memories that live always in me.

    It's a tragic shame that Lou Gehrig fell just short of 500 home runs and 2000 RBIs due to a terrible illness that there's still no cure or really effective treatment for robbing him of his skills. It's too bad that a classy ballplayer in Fred McGriff also fell just short. That 1994 baseball strike ended up costing him the seven more home runs he needed to get to 500.

    Very fun video.
    I was at spring training in 1987 when Schmidt was sitting at 495 home runs, I was 15. I was trying to get autographs when Schmidt ran by after warm-ups. He clearly did not want to sign.
    The 40-45 year-old guy right in front of me yells "Hey Schmiddy! 500 ball here!" It was in a zip-lock bag.
    Schmidt does a 180 and closely examines the ball, and signs it without saying a word (no other signings). I asked the guy if I could hold the ball...and there it was, in my fingers (on the seams. There was Ruth, Aaron, Williams, Mays, all of them, even Mel Ott.
    I absolutely stressed out that season, hoping that nothing would happen to Schmidt that he wouldn't get 5 more home runs and "ruin the ball". I wrote to him via the Phillies mid-season about that, and he sent me back a very kind letter that is sitting in a binder 20 feet away from me right now.
    That ball has to still exist, but I can't imagine what it would look like now. It was a thrill to hold it.

    Harry Kalas got to call both Eddie Matthews and Mike Schmidt's 500th homeruns. Matthews hit his when he was with the Astros and Harry was the Astros announcer at the time. He joined the Phillies in 1971.

      Cardinal fans are classy like that. they do that, heck, even if one happens to get traded off the team, they will pull for them, especially the ones well established. take when Albert was with our angels for a while, returned to his home in an angels uniform, did his thing, and they gave the man a standing ovation. same thing for if and when a player returns. that first return game home is just the icing on top.

      As a Twins fan, I kept expecting him to hit at least 25 home runs a season, but the highest in his 6- year stint with Minnesota was 20. Either the Red Sox had an amazing batting coach, or your statement is true.

      That's what happens when you're very well liked by the media. They absolutely drooled over Big Papi.
      And, on the opposite end of the spectrum are guys like Curt Schilling, who will never even sniff the HOF because of how vilified he is by the media (rightfully so imo).
