I spent close to 10 years collecting autographs during the 80s and 90s from basketball, baseball and hockey, and can honestly say Frank Robinson was probably the worst person to deal with. Aside from my story above, he yelled "NO!" at me a different time (again, when I was the only person around). I never again asked him for an autograph after that time.
