Default Spahn is gone

Posted By: Mark Clary

My most enjoyable autograph experiences:

Jim Palmer - During a signing he told my Dad and I stories about his playing days as he signed other people's items.

Reggie Jackson - Yeah really. I've gotten him a couple times and he's been very friendly each time. Between autograph sessions in Cooperstown while he was getting his lunch, I watched as a littly boy approached him for an autograph. I thought to myself, "no way this ends well"...but he bent down and signed for him. I know it doesn't make him a saint or anything, but a nice gesture none the less.

Killebrew - A gentleman each time I've seen him.

Buck O'Neil - A great asset to baseball and loves talking to kids.

Not so good:

Seaver - Just a moody guy, it's definitely hit or miss with him.
Mays - Hardly acknowledged that I was spending a mint to have him sign his autograph.

and that's really about it for me, which is nice.
