Was reading the thread about Willie Mays and his horrible autograph stories. Would love to see a thread on other encounters by other baseball players. I can add Reggie Jackson to the list. My dad and cousin ran across him in New York one night in the 70's, my dad being in his early 20's, my cousin being around 8-10 years old. They were the only ones around and my dad asked him to sign a piece of paper he had on him, he wouldn't sign it. From what I hear, it didn't sit well with Reggie to ask for his autograph on the street.... I can personally add Cal Ripken Jr, although I know he is a generous signer, i was at Yankee stadium 2 times where he was signing before the games, I was still a teenager, however not young enough for his autograph. He signed every kids ball that was say under 12, everyone else he completely ignored. Yes, I get why he was doing it, however ever since then, he became an asshole in my eyes.
