I guess as the players got more famous it went to their heads. I saw Bench play with the Bisons as a young kid. I got 2 autographed balls from him. My father said, hang on to them he's going to be great in the majors. Both were signed during games passed down from the stands and he never hesitated to sign them. Only autographs I ever got in person from a baseball player. Got a Hulk Hogan on an airplane for a friend of mines kid that was a wrestling fan. No interaction, just passed it to him and he signed it.
