This afternoon, I took a friend over to a naboring town, The Village of Oak Creek, for a job interview. When I pulled up an elderly couple was broke down in a car next to us. I offered to help out so he said it wouldn't turn over.. I looked at the battery and looked at fuses. Couldn't figure it out but they said AAA was coming and thanked me. A little later I seen a small truck there so I went back to see If I could help. We both scratched out heads and finally figured it was there key thingy. It's a security lock of a sort and the battery was dead in it. They lived close by so the AAA fella took the other fella to there house to get the other key chain thingy and he asked if I could stay with his wife while they were gone. No problem I said. We started talking and she asked if I like baseball. Sure I said, I went to school with Roger Clemmons. She asked if I had heard of Maury Wills. Turns out her husband IS Maury Wills. Wow, he is a legend in baseball. He is 83 now and looked great. Doggon, they were so nice and had a great time talking to them. He dug out some cards he had and autographed them for me. They were great folks. Look him up.

He played from 59 until 72.
What years were the cards Dave sounds like you had fun meeting them.
They just seemed to be so nice.. So I wanted to help and love to gab so I was having fun just gabbing. Then his wife tells me who he is.. I would love to see them again to gab and hear story's from his baseball days. They are good people.. Maury seemed to be really happy. Still coachin for the Dogers to.
This seemingly chance encounter was it's own reward for you being a decent human being.
That is great buddy you were doing a wonderful thing
That's fantastic! Good job Dave.
He looked good for 83 and nice as can be.
