My best experience was with Steve Garvey.

Very personable and friendly.

As a side story, he had accidentally left his drivers license where I worked. I was able to track down his mailing address and take the license to his PO box. I told the manager what happened and said they would make sure his license went to his box. I left a note with the license so Garvey would know where he left it and what happened.

About a week later his assistant showed up at my place of work with a signed ball complete with inscriptions of stats.

I personally met him shortly thereafter, and found him to be a class act.


I have worked with Bench directly, and he is all business. No disappointment as that is what I was expecting. During a book signing, he did interact with a 10 year old who was a catcher for a little league team. Bench asked the boy to get in a crouch so he could see the form. After signing a book and coaching the boy for a moment the childs dad was elated.

During the book signing, with clear guidlines, people would still want balls and bats and things signed by Bench. For those items, he has a website for obtaining a signature.

My wife worked with Jabbar previously and he is a total jerk.
