Re: Worst Fan Fest Experiences
I dont know which is funnier the fact people can not have a bad day or the people saying "I would have kicked the crap out of them" yet didnt do a thing. stop it, they where athletes even out of shape still would whoop you and lets not ignore you did NOTHING but walk away. So stop with the tough guy routines no one is buying them.

Re: Worst Fan Fest Experiences
There are plenty of young guys with the same, good attitude, and it's always a pleasure to run into them. I got the Diamondbacks' new arm, Josh Collmenter, to sign a photo in the Fall League last year, and when I thanked him, he said, "Thank YOU!" During that same season, Bryce Harper never signed before a game, but after every home game he stood at the end of the dugout and signed for everybody. After he'd signed a baseball for me, I said, "Have a great career!" and he responded, "Thank you, sir." Some parents did a good job.

If you would have read the entire story, he insulted a young boy and his father. I was not the one he swore at. So why would I personally take try to "beat him" for that? Also, had you ACTUALLY read the story, it was HIS golf tournament and there was simply zero excuse for his behavior that day. People who give athletes the "bad day" pass slay me when the athlete chooses to be in a public venue and acts like an @ss.
You sound like someone who is just on here to start something when there is no need to. These days I am in my 30s and too old to care. However, just for the record, when I met Charles Woodson I was in my mid 20s, and at the time benched 340 lbs as I was a gym rat in college. Have you ever seen Charles Woodson? He is not a lineman or a LB, he is a corner. How about not making sarcastic comments when you do not know the situation.
This will be my one and only response to your juvenile post, so do not expect a long, "tough guy" typing match from me.

Ted Williams at a Hofstra University show in Long Island New york...
Mind you he is getting paid for everything he signs. Fans are out the door of the gym just for him. They are handing him baseballs. He is not looking up, signs the balls and does not acknowledge any fan at all.
And get this...rolls the signed balls back to the fans instead of handing back..how he recieved it.
Man...I remember many people complaing to show promoter cause many of the autographs had been smudged as they were rolled back.
I was at another table sitting with Chuck "The Rifleman" Connors and we just looked over in disbelief...even Chuck said Williamd was an ASS!
That's just one of my stories...
