EJ Holub played both MLB and center for the Dallas Texans when the AFL played its first year.

Lamar Hunt story. I was with Barry Tompkins for an NBC Grandstand (host Len Berman if anybody remembers) interview with Mr.Hunt. Great guy. He was wearing a beautiful navy sports coat and Barry remarked about it after the interview. Hunt chuckled and said that he always bought quality but was frugal. He said that the jacket was at least 25 years old.

We were flying on to Denver or Salt Lake and I took my first class seat (film union contract). Later I got up to use the head but there was some trouble with our latrine. So I entered the coach cabin and in about the tenth row was Hunt sitting in a window seat. Here was a multi billionaire (oil) frugally ensconced with the common folk. A very nice man.

And there you were, a union guy, coming from the front of the plane.  Great story!
