He was and still is my hero of baseball. I grew up with my polish gma and he was my polish hero. I was at a red sox vs orioles game at memorial stadium. I went down to get his autograph (I was an adult), he said sorry no more, one more kid and I said oh.... your my polish sweetheart. He signed the little boys and then mine and walked off. I was the only teenage girl with baseball posters on my walls. Big huge one of carlton over my bed.... Mass General I hear is a good hospital...
