The coolest I ever met was Bobby Doerr at the All-Star Game at Fenway a few years ago. Great guy. Signed a (reprint) Heads Up card for me. Had a huge smile on his face when I showed it to him and asked to sign it. He hands it back & says, "You know this is fake, right?"
The worst was Yaz, about 10 seconds later. I had a kind of beat up card of his and handed it to him to sign. He says, "You couldn't find a nicer card of me?"
So I said, "Well, I'm not really a Sox fan. I'm a Yankees fan."
He stopped signing it and shoved the card back to me. Somewhere I have a Carl Ya... signed card of Yaz.
