You don't have to be big leaguer, owner or general manager to have a memorable experience in baseball. Readers share their stories of how they were touched by the game.
In 1981, the year after Steve Stone won 25 games and the Cy Young Award for the Baltimore Orioles, my wife and I reached out to him. The connection was that my wife was from University Heights, Ohio, and Steve was from South Euclid, Ohio, two adjacent suburbs of Cleveland.
I am from Baltimore, and a lifelong Orioles fan, Steve responded to our request to meet, and we did so several times that year. It was a true pleasure getting to know him.
