I ran into him once in a parking lot. I just wanted to say hello and that I was a fan. No autograph. No bugging him. He was really rude. He acted like I was asking him for money. Sorry to say but a real jackwad.
What game was it in that Rod Carew had a base-running collision & swallowed his signature huge wad of chewing tobacco & puked on live tv? Does anyone have that tape? He was an amazing player.
After Tony Gwynn, he was the best pure contact hitter I've ever seen.

I thought he choked on chew after diving for a ball?

I had a great time watching him in the 70s at the met.He was one of the best!
Evin tho he did snub me for an autograph in the parking lot when i was 11 lol. He just had too many fans to take care of them all.

Mr. Carew will be forever remembered as a Minnesota Twin! NOT a California Angel.
