I have met him before. Nothing spectacular, and also nothing disheartening. He was just signing as a matter of business.

I agree with this . Anyone could be a jerk it doesn't mean your always a jerk.i met Juan marichal guess what didn't say a peep to me no matter what I said or asked. I also heard that he was a jerk to a few other people at this particular signing. I don't think this means he always a jerk.

A customer of mine got to meet Willie at his house 2-3 years ago. I forget the details, but a business associate of his knew Willie.

Before they went to the house however, my customer was cautioned by the person taking him there not to mention or ask for any autographs, that if he did Willie would get upset.

He said it was a great conversation time, they talked baseball and other things for several hours and Willie was very gracious and friendly. He got to see and hold some of Willie's memorabilia and I think take pictures as well.

So, clearly something about autograph's upsets Willie Mays.
