Hank Aaron and Willie Mays in the Same Room...

As I continue to get older, I am continually reminded of how we simply do not showcase those who are "greats" in their field. Finding a true offering on television to "sit with your heroes" is becoming more and more rare, but this evening, there was a truly memorable and special moment for an hour where the curtain came up, "Giants" took the stage, and suddenly, there in the center of a small, comfirtable auditorium with hundrends watching on, we were presented with Bob Costas, Hank Aaron, and Willie Mays - sitting in front of a crowd of people ready to tell us of their lives.

Warmth, respect, and shared history is something that Bob referred to during this evenings event and it couldn't possibly be more accurate. Seeing two gentleman that embody modern baseball and will always resound powerfully long after they're gone.

In the audience were an even larger sampling of American athletic greatness from every single generation. It was truly an amazing sight.

If you've got access to HBO, it's a viewing that I totally recommend catching. It's something that (especially in high definition) is like sitting in your living room with two living legends who truly can and do provide a shining sample of where we were, where we have been and what is to come in the realm of American life.
