Tony Gwynn was a one of the nicest guys ever to take the field. I took my then 8 year old son to a Padres game in 1984 and we were watching the pregame field warm ups. My son yells to Tony: "Hey Tony can I have the baseball when you are done playing catch". ( He was tossing the ball to Kevin McReynolds.) Tony just looked away and then a couple of seconds later he tosses the ball to my kid. I thanked Tony and he gave me a thumbs up.

I went to over 100 games when Chipper was playing and never once did I see him sign. In the 8-10 years that I was actually trying to get autographs, I got Tommy Glavine, John Smoltz, Greg Maddux, Bobby Cox, Andruw Jones, Brian McCann, Brian Jordan, Jair Jurrgens, Kris Medlen, Johnny Venters, Billy Wagner, Craig Kimbrel, Kevin Millwood and Tim Hudson of the notable names. Tim Hudson was probably the coolest guy who played in a Braves jersey during my younger years. During BP he'd just walk around the OF wall having conversations with the fans. He'd talk hunting, baseball, football, or just about anything. I quit trying for autos after I turned about 15. I still always looked to see if Chipper was signing because I would've tried to get his but he never did. I don't hold it against him though. He was a massive star and he'd probably signed so many autographs (not to mention his play on the field) that he probably felt he'd earned the right not to sign anymore. I never saw him ignore anyone or be an asshole though. The greatest autograph story I have is when I saw the Os play the Braves in Cal Ripken Jr's last year. I swear fans lined up almost all the way around the stadium to get Cal's autograph. I swear he probably signed 5,000 autographs. He made his way from the RF dugout all the way to the higher part of the wall (where he couldn't reach anymore), he turned around, went to the other side of the diamond and did the same thing all the way down the LF line, then walked foul-pole to foul-pole in the outfield letting fans throw their stuff down so he could sign. I didn't mention that I ALWAYS go to 3-game series. I live in Tennessee and couldn't go back-and-forth all the time, so we'd just go for a 3-game series a handful of times per year. Cal did this for 3-straight days. He never even warmed up. He just signed during the entire pregame for 3-straight days. Even Braves players were getting his autograph. Oh yeah, he also hit 2HRs in one of those games and almost single-handedly beat ATL 4-1. Great guy.

I grew up a Padres fan in the 90's, and I used to go to Spring Training in Peoria with my Dad every year. Tons of fans would descend on Tony Gwynn as soon as they got a glimpse of him leaving the locker room, finishing batting practice, etc. No matter how many people were huddled around Tony waiting for an autograph, Tony would never leave until each and every one of them had their item signed. Tony was the guy that you wish every pro athlete could be like. He was as down to earth as could be, and despite his greatness, he never thought of himself as above anyone.

Tony Gwynn was freakin' awesome. He never gave me the vibe that he was "too busy" to be bothered. he was nothing but smiles with me when i spoke to him many years ago.

A Barry Bonds story: This was one of the funniest things I have ever seen… the Giants were playing in Atlanta. This was either the year he broke the record or the year prior. He’s on the field warming up about 2 hours before first pitch. A kid around 10 years old keeps yelling, “Mr. Bonds, Mr. Bonds, I would like for you to sign my ball please.” This goes on for 30 minutes with Bonds only about 50 feet from us. Finally, this older gentleman behind us hits his breaking point. He taps the kid on the shoulder and says, “Kid, you could be in an alley with only you and him and he wouldn’t sign. You could be dying of cancer and he wouldn’t sign. You could be the last two people on earth and he STILL won’t sign your ball so hush.” The kid has a horrible look on his face, turns back to face the field and starts all over, “Mr. Bonds Mr. Bonds…” The older gentleman and I just shook our heads and walked away. In the hour+ of the kid’s yelling, Bonds never even looked on his direction, much less signed.

I heard kind of the same thing about Willie Mays from a former co-worker. He was at a card show back in the 80's and was in line to get Mays autograph and he heard Mays make some comment about how he was sick of doing autographs that day so Dave just got out of line and said the heck with it.

Love the video, love the Humm Baby Baseball....one of my favorite TTM successes was the legendary Roger Craig this past year, and he was so kind as to inscribe his famous "Humm Baby" on the custom card I created and sent him! True class act! Whitey Herzog was very kind in person, he talked to me for a few minutes at a signing last year, and was not in any hurry, just a very down to earth and friendly man, and one of the all time great managers and Hall of Famers!

I've heard people say Gwynn was a prick, but he was the sweetest man ever to me. Always took his time to sign and talk to fans

Goose gossage for me was one of the nicest people to get a signature from. Yeah he’s very outspoken and blunt but he stayed and signed 200 + autos and even asked me where I wanted the signature on the ball and thanked me for coming to see him speak

I’m going back with some of these guys but..Barry Bonds Randy Johnson,Rhys Hoskins and Pujols were terribly nasty!.Moody guys were Mark McGwire,Griffey and Jeter..Nice guys were Gwynn,Bagwell,Schilling,Sosa,Paul Goldschmidt,Greg Maddux and Betts and Tom Glavine

Mark McGwire was such a good guy not only did he sign he took a pic and even stood and chatted for awhile. Such a good guy and this wasn’t just once I met him a few times being a huge McGwire fan and I was so happy he wasn’t a jerk.

I actually got to see Barry bonds and his manager at a restaurant I used to work at in 2019. Before this quarantine thing and I was nervous to ask for an autograph because he was eating A LOT! And did not want to be that fan. Nonetheless it was nice seeing him, it was at Orinda, CA. Maybe I should have tried... oh well next time lol

I was lucky to get Barry Bonds in 2000 outside the stadium in Milwaukee and he was actually really nice and accommodating. He even posed for a photo with me before getting in a cab. He was my favorite player, so that was a thrill. Your Randy Johnson story sounds familiar. He was like that every time I tried to get him, too. Tony Gwynn accused me of hitting him up "dozens" of times when I finally got him, on a ticket stub of all things, but I am happy I got him in person. Great video man, I am subbing and look forward to hearing more of your experiences

While attending a Yankees/Astros spring training game in 2006 there were a fans who noticed Daryl Strawberry in the section next to us behind home plate. Keeping in mind he was going thru a divorce at the time so none of us expected him to sign, but he couldn’t have been nicer. Keeping a low profile, we decided that one by one we’d go over and ask him to sign in between innings. I had just bought a ball at the team store hoping to get Jeter, which I didn’t think would happen anyway so when it was my turn I got up walked over and politely handed him the ball while saying I was a big fan of the Mets and loved the 86 team. He smiled and then after signing on the sweet spot in black, I said thank you and good luck. Thru all the troubles in his life he’s managed to continue being nice and approachable. I’ll always be a Daryl Strawberry fan!

Randy Johnson was really tough like you said. I tried getting him at the hotel and he always seemed in a bad mood, probably didn't help that I chased him down the street. I saw some segment on him about becoming a photographer and that he liked it because he felt more in control and the spotlight wasn't on him anymore. Probably a big reason why he didn't like signing .

One of the nicest coolest dudes i ever met was Rob Dibble, i said hi Rob how are you, shook my hand with a good firm grip and said good buddy Another totally cool freakin dude was Fred Lynn

I bumped into Joe Thornton on the street when I was a kid. He chatted with my mom, my brothers and me, and he signed a piece of paper for us (didn’t have his card or anything with us). Really nice guy! Obviously not a baseball player, but figured you might appreciate the story since you’re wearing a Sharks shirt!

Great video, I have a cool story. I'm a lifelong Cubs fan and unfortunately I'm not old enough to have seen Ernie Banks play. Only highlights. However, Ernie attended a Fergie Jenkins charity night at spring training at hohokam field back in 2009. it was more of an event where you were supposed to just walk around the field and say hi to them and maybe take a picture but no autographs. They were explaining that to us in the beginning and there was about maybe a thousand of us waiting to get out on the field and do that .... And as they were explaining to us, I caught Ernie Banks attention with one of my coffee table books which said 101 reasons to love the Chicago Cubs LOL. He made eye contact with me and I made a motion with my hand as if he would sign it for me. He looked at one of the security guards and said something to him. Then he pointed at me and the security guard came up to me. I thought for sure I was going to get kicked out or something. He took my book and marker and gave it to Ernie and while the guy was talking about not asking for autographs, he signed it to me on the cover and gave it back to me through the security guard period I'll never forget it. What a great guy!!!

I grew up in Scottsdale, AZ during the 60s/70s and had a lot of fun getting autographs during spring training. I saw the post by Ace is a God about Ernie Banks, and agree completely. He was a class act. Friendly, down to earth and approachable. Tommy Harper wasn't openly rude, but did something that wasn't very nice. While walking to the bus after a game he signed for me, and my friend then gave him a baseball. While walking steadily to the bus he seemed to be intently signing the ball, and at the bus entrance hands it back to my friend and climbs on board. We searched the ball afterwards and his signature was nowhere on it...he had faked as if he was signing it! I loved your impression of Willie Mays. I was at a celebrity golf tournament called the AstroJet Golf Classic outside of Phoenix during the 70s. While waiting at the designated area for autographs as the athletes came off the course I heard a kid looking in a distant direction say, "That's Willie Mays!!!" He took off running and I took off after him. Willie was sitting in a golf cart talking to someone and we approached him. He signed for us just like you imitated- totally not into it and no eye contact with us. His autograph is like chicken scratch. Nobody would know it's his signature but me.

Omar Vizquel was pretty cool. Told me to give him a minute while he went a grabbed some coffee. He came back out and looked for me and signed my ball. My one jerk was Juan Gonzalez. I was 12 and no one else was around after a game, I asked for his autograph and he flat out ignored me and walk past me.

I heard a W Mays story where a guy had a 500 HR Bat , asked Mays to sign on a blank spot and he signed over 2 other signatures!

I had a pretty cool experience when I was 11 and went to an A's game their first year in Oakland, 1968. I bought a scorecard and tried to get some pregame autographs. The first guy who walked up to sign was Joe DiMaggio, who was an A's coach. The Clipper was probably in his 50's but looked about 80 years old to me, but hey, he was Joe DiMaggio! I knew this was a big thing. He signed very nicely, and pretty largely, on an open spot at the top of the scorecard and then moved on. Suddenly right in front of me was an A's rookie -- Reggie Jackson. Reggie badly wanted to sign my scorecard, which seemed kind of strange. But what he did was sign his name right next to Joe D's. I think even at that point Reggie had such a sense of what a great player he was going to be that he thought his signature belonged right next to one of the greatest players of all time. The next guy to sign was Catfish Hunter! So I had a scorecard with HOF'er Joe DiMaggio, and future HOF'ers Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter all right next to each other. Of course I didn't know at that time how lucky I was, but as the years went by -- and as the A's built their dynasty on the backs of Jackson and Catfish -- it dawned on me that that scorecard I prominently displayed on my desk in my room at home was incredibly special. And then, of course, perhaps inevitably, I had that experience that so many young fans had back in the day before autographs and memorabilia had any real market value. I went off to college when I was 18, so my mom decided that was the perfect opportunity to give my room a thorough cleaning. So she threw out that scorecard, along with the Willie Mays and Willie McCovey autographed baseball I had been lucky enough to get at Candlestick about a year after the scorecard signing, and the Reggie Jackson model bat and Vida Blue glove that I had taken from the A's locker room a few days after they had beaten the Mets in Game 7 of the '73 WS, when I went to a Warriors game with some friends and we had snuck through the tunnel system that led from the basketball arena into the Coliseum's locker rooms. I also had some turf lying on my desk from the Coliseum field that I had torn up after Catfish Hunter had shut out the Orioles to clinch the AL pennant a few weeks before and my friend and I joined the fans who stormed the field. My mom got rid of all of that stuff. Just like that. I remember coming home for the first time from college and walking into my room, and going into shock when I saw that it was all gone and my desk looked it had been fumigated. I asked my mom about it and she just happily said "Well I finally got the chance to clean up that room and I did it!." I didn't have the heart to say anything else. But man, if I had that scorecard and that Mays and McCovey ball now....

I had interactions with hundreds of MLB players. Tony Gwynn was the only one who was ever rude to me. And he wasn’t just rude. He was a mega prick. This was when I was only 11 or 12 years old, wide-eyed and polite to a fault.

I grew up in St. Louis in the 80s and the 90s. My Mom and I used to wait by the visiting team exit because it was easier to meet them than the Cardinals. Anyway, the only bad experiences I had were with Mets. Lol! I asked Kevin McReynolds to sign his card and he said, "Some other time, kid," which didn't make much sense to sense to me because there was never going to be a better time; and John Franco: I said hi Mr. Franco and he literally rolled his eyes at me and kept walking. I remember several then young Astros signed for me, including Steve Finley and Luis Gonzalez, and they were very accommodating and still seeming perhaps a little starstruck to be in the bigs. On the Cardinal side Ozzie Smith was an incredible class act. He not only signed for me but shook my hand! I was beyond excited.

The only baseball player's autograph I have is George Springer's. He actually lives in my neighborhood. I'm not the type of neighbor who likes to wait at his front door, looking through the peephole with binoculars, FOR SURE. Lol!!! The opportunity just came during a neighborhood event. He and his wife were the NICEST and most down to earth people. I really like when famous people can still have it in them to to be humble. We're all just human after all. Your impersonation of Randy Johnson's and Willie Mays' attitudes were priceless. I would have defininitely stayed away 🤦‍♀️. Erik, I love your videos! You're absolutely hilarious! Lol!

You can tell by just hearing Gwynn speak 1 time that he's going to be happy to sign for anybody almost anytime. He was such a likeable guy. I miss his laugh.

I met Don Mattingly as a kid during off season in his restaurant in a southern indiana town of Evansville. Im not sure if was there alot, I probably got lucky. I got an autographed menu and great lunch for $20.00. He told my mom and me to enjoy our lunch and come back with a ball next time and he'd sign it. He has a great smile in person and a very laid back way about him.

Lol, good stuff. Jack Clark was my favorite Giants player. What about him, reputation or not, was he OK to fans, regardless of signing autographs or not?

I was a huge autograph collector in Minnesota from' '89-'92. Literally daily, very home game. I was 14 at the time. I have so many stories, I don't know where to begin. Rickey Henderson had a such a reputation as a non-signer, that when he walked out of the Metrodome (going towards the hospital 2 blocks away for some medical thing) all the other auto-collectors didn't even bother, but I followed him for half a block and gently asked, and he signed. When the other collectors saw him signing my card, they all went running. Ha! Bo Jackson said "get the hell out of my way" to me when I asked him getting off the Royals team bus. He was kinda jogging, soI think the team bus was running late. I love Bo, so I never took it too bad.

Chipper Jones was awesome. Went and seen him play for the Greenville Braves in Huntsville Alabama and he signed all my rookie cards of him before the game. I handed all them to him expecting him to sign one but he signed all 7 cards I had. 🤘 He never put the number 10 in the J at the time cause I guess he was in the minors at the time. 🤔

Believing there's only 2 sexes,respecting,cherishing the rights of Americans, not wanting them to be encroached upon, and expecting the same for yourself. Definitely extreme views! How dare he?

You’re a real baseball guy man I love it

Nice SJ Giants hat! I was a regular grapher at SJ Municipal Stadium in the late 90s-early 00s doing the Cal League

Matt Williams was always accommodating for autographs

I love these type of videos

I remember after a night game in Boston, Varitek pulling out of players parking lot, he stopped his suv and called people over to sign autographs. My friend she had a different experience and let him know it.

Love this, glad I found it, Chipper Jones signed a shit of cards for me when he was the hottest draft pick in the World, love your stories, would absolutely love to have an 1989 Donruss Schilling card signed, I would be scared to ask Randy Johnson for an autograph too lol the Vince Coleman has me in tears, tbe way you said, Holy shit lol

Gwynn always signed but when he became a college coach,he got on a soapbox.That article you showed was garbage,Peyton Manning has always been a great signer unless security escorted him out.Chipper Jones signed up a storm years ago in Denver.Some guys that seemed like jerks are in AAA,probably because they are mad they are there instead of the BigLeagues(Kerry Woodson,Nelson Liraiano messing around,Larry Sutton).Great video!!!

Lifelong Astros fan. Bagwell, biggio, Berkman, Ausmus are all friendly gentlemen, but the greatest was Jose Lima. Arrived to a game in 2000 and he was hanging out in the stands. He saw me (8 years old at the time) recognize him and he motioned for me to go over to him. Signed everything I had and gave me a ball which he also signed and chatted with me for about 5-10 minutes. Was really sad when he passed. RIP. Worst was Jim Deshaies. Maybe he was just having a bad day but he was a stuck up jerk when I met him.

I got Ricky Henderson to sign one of my upper deck cards of him. It's a portrait picture of him stealing a base. I was about 12.

I got really lucky in college by getting a Nolan Ryan signed ball. I took a shot in the dark and mailed a ball to him when he was still associated with the Angels. I sent him a ball I had other hall of famers sign, and instead of signing that ball he sent back with a signed ball of his own.

Biggest jerk to me was Steve Finley when I was a kid and he was still in AAA ball, refused to sign. Nicest was football, 90’s Buffalo Bills players, Thurman Thomas, James Lofton etc. Jim Kelly made me run a mile at his football camp because I forgot to say thank you

Is there a free list where I can get ahold of to send cards to get signed

You are a REALLY funny guy - T Gwynn will still sign! Yes, I met Dunston at Shea - Great guy great signer

Sean Casey for those that know him was the best. He would sign until team reps had to drag him away and he sent me a bat in the mail. This was years ago but my best experience with a player and he was a solid one.

Randy Johnson scared alot of people😂

Tim Lincecum was very cool

Met chipper once in spring trining signed 3 for me and damn nice guy

I totally understand if players don't sign autographs for adults like me but when it's a child just don't be mean.

Chris Sale was a great guy when I met him

You got a great show Dude. I really enjoyed this one. 97' i was working as a bagger at the Marina Safeway ; in the City.Mark Mcgwire frequented the store. Growing up in the City, Clark,Canseco and Mcgwire were my baseball heros.( I towed that Giants A's line ; until 89 of course)So needless to say seeing Mcgwire was pretty cool.I wasn't even thinking autograph,i just attempted to say "Hello and Huge fan Mark" or something along those lines. I barely got Hello out of my mouth, he immediately turns and proceeds to give me an unforgettable death stare.I'm 6'3 and was probably 215 at the time but he was 6'4 and roided to the gills ,so i was Leary about telling him to F-off . Mark Mcgwire is a complete and total prick as far as im concerned.

you are hilarious LMAO

I have the worse experience of getting Julio Teheran’s autograph when the Braves were in town against the Dodgers. I was calling him “Hey Julio, can I get a autograph and a selfie?” He completely ignored me. I was so pissed off and I started to hate him so much! Thank God that he is no longer with the Braves.

Your Willie Mays experience was my Pedro Martinez experience

One more I forgot, Frank Viola was the pitching coach for Savannah Sand Gnats, he sigbed over 40 cards, I just had them at home, Saw him there, He asked why I had so many, told him Im a huge fan, he signed every card, Stand-up guy too

Gwynn was my hero . I got to meet him and get his auto as a kid .my kids got to meet him before he passed. He was THE MAN among men!! Griffey Sr was a Richard !!! And his son is the same!!!!!! IRL !!!

Try doing another one for boardcasters

I already left a long comment but I also remembered that my mom met Andres Torres at 24 hour fitness and she actually had a Torres shirt on and he came up and said he appreciates her wearing the shirt so she got a picture with him and said he was nice. I know quite a few people who have met Torres and they all have nothing but nice things to say about him.

Jake Arrieta actually tried to fight my friend for asking him for an autograph after a game. He popped his chest out and flex his arms for being interrupted while walking with another player who actually did sign an autograph in that encounter. Frank Robinson was another one who would tell white kids he wouldn’t sign for them, but then would sign autographs for all the black kids.

juiced up Barry was awesome to watch.

Barry used to send pre signed photos to me in 1987-88

Ellis Burks and Michael Morse are two other former giants, who were great with fans

interesting that Barry Bonds signed autographs early in his career as a Pirate but not later as a more successful Giant, he must've gotten a big head.............

''Tony Gwynn is dead. And he would still sign today.'' Oh my!

I miss actually writing players! Was so cool actually getting replies back in the mail.

Don Sutton got a lifelong fan after tossing me a ball during an Astrodome tour in '81.

So I actually have a lot of players through the years I have had interactions with especially since I used to live in a city where a lot of Giants players lived in when they played for the Giants. One of those players was Jeff Kent, he lived a few blocks from me so one Halloween when I was probably like 10 we went by his house and he was actually sitting in front of his house with his wife talking to all the kids that came by and giving out candy. He was really nice and I actually dressed up in a Kent jersey so when I asked if he could sign my card he went in the house with the card and did it for me. A lot of people say he is a jerk but he was at least nice from my experience. Another player that lived nearby was Kirk Rueter. Shortly after the 2002 World Series my friend, brother and I went to his house to see if he would be there and there was a limo in front (I think he was getting ready to head home for the offseason) so I got scared and hid behind a bush while my brother and friend knocked on his door. He came out and was the nicest guy and signed autographs for us. Pedro Feliz lived nearby and when I was older and worked at the local grocery store I saw him twice. I was older so didn't feel the need to ask for any autographs but he was nice either way and I helped him get chocolate chips one of the times. I called my mom and told her to bring my youngest brother so they got there while he was still there and he was nice to them and said Hi to my little brother. Another story about Feliz is my brother and his friends where throwing a ball around in the parking lot of that same grocery store and hit a car which ended up being Feliz's car. He was super nice about it. I met Terrell Owens when I was a kid at an autograph signing outside of a Sports Authority and he was cool and joking with everyone while signing autographs. I met Manny Lawson (49ers) in that same Sports Authority parking lot and he signed an autograph for me and was friendly. I met Michael Tucker when I was a kid at my dad's store and he came in and signed an autograph and looked at some merchandise. Not extremely nice or anything but not mean at all either. I was at a game a few years ago and during batting practice Pablo Sandoval was in the outfield doing some rehab with the trainer since he was hurt at the time and I was just standing there so he had two Dasani water bottles and he decided to toss me the one that was full. That was pretty nice considering it was a warm day and that same bottle would have cost me $10 or something at the concession stands.

Why is curt extreme? Because he has his own opinion?

I heard Tom Seaver was a jerk when asked for an autograph. I got him to sign a few cards back when he did the baseball signing. Of course it cost money. He was sort of like how you described Willie Mays. Seaver stopped signing when he retired to his winery in California.

Hey HummBaby any thoughts on the KBO officially starting their 2020 season! Does that give ya any confidence of the MLB 2020 season actually being a thing this year?

I met Brooks Robinson at a charity event and he couldn't have been nicer Ryan klesko at the same event was a jerk. I'll take Brooks Robinson over Ryan klesko everyday

That was awesome

Was that Chipper card signed in person or TTM? I only ask because the auto looks EXACTLY the same as one I got TTM. Kinda makes me think mine is a stamp

chipper signed everything every single time. agree about strawberry too

I'm not saying this has anything to do with it but I was born with spina bifida and have to use a wheelchair anyways I'm not sure if anyone remembers Javy Lopez and I don't know if he still Playin but he was EXTREMELY Nice to me I had a Braves Jacket and I bought a picture not only did he sign both but I Also got a picture with him And I wanna Thank you for clearing things up bout Chipper I've heard things bout him cause I've always wanted to meet him just never got the chance to it's just good to know he's a nice guy

Great videos I enjoy them a lot In the nice guy category I would put Johnnie lemaster He signed a couple of autographs for my son and was super nice

I met Tony years ago. Signed everything for me. 5 cards he signed.. Chipper jones signed for me years ago.. Darryl was my favorite. Met him and even told him he was my favorite. Got a great pix with him.. Reuben sierra was a shnuck. Had an excuse for everything. Sorry can't sign its too hot outside.

How was Will Clark?

when i worked at dodger stadium gwynn, willie mcghee, dusty baker, dion, justice, gant, pentleton, dale murphy was the best, straw was dope, larkin was great and in 94 when i played in the minors and ran into him he was shocked, gleen braggs, dawson, samdburg, duston, man and lenny harris... bonds was cool but never gave me and autograph but at the new edition hall of fame party in 2016 he remembered me and we had a good time.

Jesus loves you all and he is always with you. God bless and have a wonderful day

A couple from my personal experience. Will Clark was totally cool. Got his autograph in person and got like ten things autographed through the mail. Jose Canseco? Well I once saw a ten year old kid ask him to autograph a card. Canseco took the card from him, tore it up, then tossed the pieces back at the kid. Safe to say he was a real jerk.

Willie Mays was a notorious prick when it came to fan interaction.

Al Kaline would sign but would also cuss you out the whole time.

Andre Dawson.. In person, or by mail, he is an awesome dude.

Ryne Sandberg is a cool dude he even does TTM he only asks for $5 donation for his charity

Not their job? Of course it IS THEIR JOB TO BE NICE, sign, take pics. THE FANS SUPPORT THE TEAM THAT PAYS THEIR SALARY. If there are no fans, there's no game period.

Ozzie Smith was one of the most nicest, and when I asked Lonnie Smith he stuck out his tongue at me.

*Tips for getting a baseball player to autograph ANYTHING you HAVE or OWN -Offer them a gram of coke (You will never get turned down)

I got manning ttm with $5 for his foundation, emmitt smith kinda acted like mays

Was at a Royals game and Harrison Bader was really cool

Joc Pederson got big leagued by Barry Bonds growing up

Randy Johnson signed a card for me through the mail and years later my son got a card signed by him through the mail also

Some usually just sign at home games

It was either 1989 or 1990, I remember the Reds playing the Pirates at Riverfront Stadium & Bonds was standing, just outside the 3rd base dugout & he was signing all kinds of stuff. I just wonder if he became a jerk, because of the way the media talked to him. Once the steroid scandal started, that was all they wanted to talk about.

Of the players i met and got auto's. Chipper was 100% great, Ozzie Smith was 100% great, Mookie was 100% great, To be honest the only two i had trouble with was Griffey Jr at a Braves day game with maybe 500 people in the stands and i was sitting field level Jr would not even look my way. The worst is by far Barry Bonds i paid money at a card show to get his auto. He would sign your card and then bend the corner and say try to sell that on ebay. He did that to anyone with a card. I ate $50 bucks that day because i left it on his table. I was not gonna sell it but i guess he thought i was.

If youre doing it for profit then pound sand. If you're keeping all the autos then enjoy.

What exactly was wrong with schillings political beliefs? Just curious since you brought it up

I always wondered, how do you get there address to mail them a card to autograph ? That face you made for randy Johnson lol you looked just like him 🤣

Babe Ruth Boston Braves bobblehead?
