A customer of mine got to meet Willie at his house 2-3 years ago. I forget the details, but a business associate of his knew Willie.
Before they went to the house however, my customer was cautioned by the person taking him there not to mention or ask for any autographs, that if he did Willie would get upset.
He said it was a great conversation time, they talked baseball and other things for several hours and Willie was very gracious and friendly. He got to see and hold some of Willie's memorabilia and I think take pictures as well.
So, clearly something about autograph's upsets Willie Mays.
