In the late 90's I took my little brother to a Reds Braves game down in Cincy. We had good seats down by the field between home plate and 1st base. Bout the second inning a man sits down next to my brother. I look over and think my goodness that looks like Ted Turner. The Braves hat gave it away, so I ask, are you by chance Ted Turner. He smiles, offers his hand in a handshake and it became a wonderful afternoon of baseball and chat with Ted Turner. Here I am sitting at a Reds game next to Ted Turner talking it up about all kinds of things. What struck me the most was him asking me questions about my life! Me of all people. He was so nice to my brother as well. I will always hold him in high regard after this.
If you ever get the chance to read a book he co wrote about how CNN came about do it. It is very interesting reading and gives you an inside look at his work ethic, etc..
