where Yogi was featured, signing autographs. He was sitting behind the signing table for most of the day. Then, along came a parent, with a girl, about three years old. Yogi lit up. Got off the table to spend time with the girl. Nothing else in that room was important to him.

This struck me because my father was the same. If a toddler was around, my father would light up. It may be because my father was in the Navy, WW II when I was a toddler. He missed the first 4 years of my childhood. Then I read that Yogi was also in WW II.
