Also I have nothing but ultimate respect for Willie Mays and still consider him to be quite possibly the greatest baseball player who ever lived..... But back in the days when I used to set up at card shows and usually be right next to the signing guest who often happened to be Willie Mays , he ABSOLUTELY detested sitting there and signing autographs and he was being paid for it.
He rarely if ever even looked up and could not wait to leave. So its almost impossible to imagine this same person sitting down at home IN HIS SPARE TIME FOR FREE and signing a MOUNTAIN of fan mail every day. Its just not realistic.
