    This is really a great thing and a life-long memory and impact on this youngster. When I was 10 years old I met Dale Murphy (he was an all-star outfielder for the Atlanta Braves). He was standing around for 10 minutes waiting for the team bus and took much of that time talking to me and creating a memory I would never forget. It was so amazing meeting someone I always watched on TV and was a professional baseball player. These NFL players have the opportunity to really make a difference with children.

        I was sort of star struck. He is really, really tall and I think I just kept looking at him while my mom talked to him mostly. But, even at that age I could just feel he was a really good human being. If you look at his history he was always a good player and a good man in his community.
