It was pretty funny. My dad told him the truth just before signing the autograph.

Frank is my all time favorite player. His daughter was in my brother's class, so Frank would show up at some events. There were a couple of times he and I would be standing in a hallway or stairwell alone and he'd strike up a conversation, idle talk mostly.
I'm sure it was interesting for him talking with an awestruck 13-14 year old who couldn't articulate more than an "uh" because I was awestruck. Of course, this was the early to mid-80's, so the team was around their pinnacle.
