One of the best auto stories I have happened last year at Target field. We went to a Tigers game and saw Omar Vizquel is their hitting coach and made eye contact with him and said "Omar, can we please get an auto?". He looked at us and nodded "no". The next time they were in town we found him again and asked for an auto, he finally said sure. He was in the camera area which it about 10 feet away from the field so my buddy threw him a ball, which he caught and when he threw the pen Omar fumbled it and dropped it. Next I throw him the ball, which he caught then came the pen which he again fumbled and dropped. Everyone around him started laughing and giving him a hard time about how he used to be sure handed, now he can't catch a pen. The one person who didn't sign for anyone on all 3 games we went to was Pujols, he didn't even look at the kids. Trout on the other hand was the man and signed for pretty much everyone.
