    I know this is a baseball forum, but Sam was one of our true heroes in Charlotte as well as many other places. May he rest in peace. :angel:

    I took my 13 yr old son and two friends to the Panthers/Falcons game last fall. We got 4 great seats thanks to an outstanding ticket employee who helped us out. After the game, the boys wanted to get autographs - understandably hard to do after a loss. Sam Mills came by and stopped and when I told him one of my son's friends was currently battling cancer (he was less than 48 hrs from his last 5 day chemo and a real trooper that day) Sam stopped to talk to him about his cancer and treatment and encouraged him to "keep pounding". It was a moving moment - one we will never forget. Thanks, Sam, for encouraging and inspiring all of us.
