He was very cordial, especially since he really didn't know me other than as a college age baseball fan. <br /><br />Ironically Ray Washburn, the guy whose no-no he caught, told my younger brothers to 'Go to hell' when they asked him to sign their programs before a Sunday game in the Dome circa 1968. He was busy doing his running on the warning track, and my brothers could certainly be annoying, but it was pretty uncalled for.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-8208404691821560282010-10-27T19:08:53.132-04:002010-10-27T19:08:53.132-04:00Matt - Yep, needless to say, Edwards was the rare ...Matt - Yep, needless to say, Edwards was the rare ballplayer (esp. in those days) that completed his degree before signing.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-63449207850234670562010-10-26T22:40:34.590-04:002010-10-26T22:40:34.590-04:00A nuclear engineer?
