At spring training about 5 years ago all us graphers would wait outside the stadium in the morning. The players would park and walk by us. There was a 90+ year old man who more than anything else wanted Willie to sign a personal item that definitely wasn't for resale. Willie was there that day. We all (even the dealers) moved away as we all wanted this guy to get him and we didn't want to scare Willie off. Willie totally ignored him and he was crushed.
I find it interested when I have been treated horrendously by some players (the vast minority), I still want their signature. Kind of sick when you think about it.
