Rusty Staub

To Rusty Staub, my first and biggest sports hero. A number of years ago, I got the pleasure of meeting him at a minor league park. I almost didn't go, but my good friend Mike Holtzclaw said I needed to. I was worried that he might not live up to my expectations. Mike said, more or less, what if he does? Well, he did, and I was so thankful I went. He even allowed my wife to take a picture of him and me with my kids. He will always be an Expo in my heart.
