I met him dozens of times. He was an ordained minister and actually preached at my uncle’s church multiple times. I’ve never met a more humble athlete. That said, he never played for the Oakland A’s, so maybe you’re confusing him with someone else.

i said maybe he was nicer when he was at home. Meaning in Toronto as we were in Oakland. We asked him before the game if he would sign. He said after the game. After the game we reminded him and he told us to "fuck off." I remember that very, very well. However, I became quite acquianted with reliever Mark Eichhorn when I confused his brother for Tom Henke. We kept in touch for many years after that. Super guy
