Kelly was in town for the Canadian Little League championship, So I decided to stop by to see if I could get a few more of his autos for my collection. I arrived at the field just after the game ended so I was not expecting to see him. To my surprise I turned a corner and ran right into him. We talked a few minutes and took a picture with myself and my son. Kelly was nice and plesent as always.



 
I was in Sky Dome in 1990 when he hit a walk off homer vs the Orioles to win the game. What an ovation he got back in the day when the Dome was new and full of fans for every game. As far as the Sanders play in the 92 WS. He had him......no doubt about it. And it was a cruel twist that he tore his shoulder apart on the play just to be robbed on the call. His career ended far too early.....
 
One of the nicest ball players I have ever met. He reacts to meeting you like you're old pals and he hasn't seen you in years. Awesome show and how cool is it just to bump into him :)

This one is easily one of my favourite Blue Jays cards:
