Let me start by saying I'm really not an autograph "collector," but I do have quite a few of them. I remember my Dad always telling me to take pride in my signature, that it says a lot about you as a person.
Maybe it's because we as a society don't do a lot of handwriting anymore, but I think so many people today have lost this, and I know first-hand that Schmidt's take on the modern baseball player is spot on.
Anyway, an interesting perspective:
