My favorite athlete of all time in any sport . I met him once after a Saturday afternoon game he played for the Hartford Whalers .

My daughter then 3 was looking up at him and when he was about to sign the photo from Sports Illustrated I offered he scooped up my daughter and held her .

The next day was Easter Sunday and he was asking my daughter if she was all set for " The Easter Bunny ".

What a fine gentleman .
