My Fun Encounter With Mike Ditka
I was standing off to the side at a show while Mike Ditka was being escorted out after signing. My dad suggested that I try to get a fist bump from him as he walked past. I timidly went for it and kind of missed. Mike stopped, saw my Nitschke jersey, playfully growled “Nitschke!!”, and pounded my fist several times. I was so shocked that I couldn’t form words before he continued on his way. It was awesome. I wasn’t even there to get his signature, but that quick interaction made my day.
