star autographs
Can't help but respond to the flurry of "can you help identify the signature?" autograph posts. Pet peeve but if you're signing an autograph, make an effort. Take a look at autographs of players long past and to a man, those are all done with some pride, all legible and some even beautiful. Like Charley Gehringer, for example. Clearly took some pleasure in signing for a fan.
Once at a tennis event we sponsored, Maria Sharapova came out for the masses and signed. No eye contact, no engagement whatsoever and just slopped through an illegible signature. I've seen better echocardiagrams. I was so tempted to say "come on, sign it right. I might give that to a kid who cares and plays tennis." But you can't very well do that with the Division President standing near you. Still wish I'd done it, though.
