I met Chi Chi at a senior event at Rancho Park golf course in LA when I was 6 years old. Earlier that week I fell down the slide at my school and had a massive black eye. After his round he was signing autographs to a crowd 5 or 6 deep. He saw me and my bruised eye behind the large crowd and called me up to him. Chi Chi signed my program and said, “Mijo, don’t ever let your girlfriend hit you like that again!” 😂 RIP Legend
