    Dick Groat at The Homestead

    A friend of mine got to meet Dick Groat last week at the Homestead. Said he was eating in the same restaurant he had eaten in 60 years ago just after becoming a World Champ. My friend said no one was asking for autographs or shaking hands (due to Covid) but that Dick seemed to be having a great time with family. Just thought I'd share.
    "That young man has an extra step on his ladder the rest of us just don't have."

    Beats my meeting him more than a few years ago in the bathroom of Parizade.

    (Although I met him, initially, the night before on the Cameron floor during halftime of the game where they were honoring him. Those were the days that you could still run across the floor without being tackled, tased, shot, or whatever. Got him to sign my hat.)
