Loved watching him back in the day. I had season tickets in the bleachers and although he didn't get along with the writers, he was nice to the fans. I remember one day at Candlestick Park on Bat Day we were all standing around at the gate waiting as usual for guys to drive out and Barry walked to the fence and signed bats. My luck I left it in the car so he signed my hat. Also talked with him on a couple of photo days where people could take pictures of the Giants.
