I was lucky enough to be on hand the day this photo was taken at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis at the end of the Hawks training camp in late September 1964…Bob Pettit’s last year as a St. Louis sports icon and the first full year for Ritchie Guerin as player-coach….some pretty decent NBA talent in this photo and yes, of course, I got an autograph from each and every one after the bulbs stopped flashing!
