Good point without the fans he would have been playing for free.

I have never been one to go to signings, but have always found observations of the players interesting. For those of you who do attend them, who would you say was your worst experience?

Mays without a doubt, followed by Aaron and Rose. There have been several that were great, but the standouts were Brooks Robinson, Carlton Fisk, Gary Carter (R.I.P.), Bobby Doerr, and surprisingly Eddie Murray (I read bad things about him but he was very very nice to me).

Agreed, in regards to Brooks Robinson. What a terrific person!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I find Rose surprising seeing that the autograph signing business is essentially his job now. Was it a long time ago that you had the issue with him? One of the couple that I have done was with Harmon Killebrew (RIP), who couldn't have been a nicer guy.

My top five> Killibrew,Kiner,Mantle,Robinson and Lefty Gomez.
Worst, Mays, AAron, Schmidt,Dimaggio and Bench.
There are many more bad guys than good.

That is exactly why I choose not to meet them. I don't want to take the risk and ruin any admiration that I have for them as players.

I have a question for you re: Gomez on my 1941 Yankee ball thread. Could you address it when you have a chance, please?

Thank You!

Default MAYS - I love the ball player - not the person he has become
Quick story on Mays ... got him to signed a few dozen baseballs for me 2 years back ... he (and his bitch of a assistant Renee) told me the baseballs were $250.00 and $25 for HOF 1979) ... I decided to get him to signed "Willie Howard Mays" and he then refused to sign any baseball for under $300 ... I ended up buying (30) baseballs at $300 with only (10) Willie Howard Mays and (5) HOF ... the rest were regular Willie Mays and yet I still was charged $300 plus S&H and the baseballs so it was a tough pill to swallow ... but when I got the baseballs back, he signed them all in black sharpie ... totally screwed up his signatures and wrote on the side panels

Such a shame that the greatest living player is also the toughest person to deal with

I bet he did it on purpose too.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Buck O'Neil as the absolute best to be around. The man oozed joy and love.

If we can spread this to other sports, Chuck Bednarik is great, too.
