You can’t understand such a shock.
The former hurler was just 44. He wasn’t a sure thing by mail, although Castillo won the hearts of many fans and collectors by his enthusiastic in-person signing.
Only 44. That should have meant years of trying him by mail, getting him to sign IP as a coach.
But fate isn’t patient.
I can’t say it often enough. Don’t look at ages. If you want a guy’s autograph or want to send a note of thanks for a particular memory, do it now.
