Encounter with Major League Players in 1979

Coming home from a haircut and grocery shopping, I suddenly remembered an encounter with Major Leaguers. It was when I was a senior high school kid. It must be 1979. The class went out to Nanzen-ji and there happened to meet a group of all-star players, who were visiting Japan. I got my Rawlings sweater autographed by Steve Garvey of the Dodgers (“Rawlings sweater!”) and John Candelaria of the Pirates. I don’t know where the sweater has gone.
