OT: Autographs at Chantilly Show

[bbcard1]

I am a close friend with Marco, so i am a little biased, but he runs a show where the athletes pretty much determine how they wish to conduct themselves with the fans. Ripken is great and I remember one time I though Staubach was going to have to stay all night. many wll pose for photos. I had a bad=ish experience with Bob Gibson, but he is well documented not to love to sign autographs. I think you would have a better than decent chance with manning but I too encourage you to talk to Marco or Nial.

Yes, in my experience, it depends entirely upon the athlete. Harmon Killebrew and Frank Howard were very gracious and personable, and more than willing to engage in some conversation.

On the other hand, I believe Willie Mays may have grunted in response when I got his autograph in the late '90's in Atlantic City and thanked him.
