I've often mused over how bad my own penmanship has become over time. I believe that the decay in quality is due to not actually "writing" anything anymore.
If you're a young athlete born in the computer age, to David's point, they probably have never been taught, or ever practiced, writing with good penmanship. Both of my kids are academically smart, but both share poor penmanship, IMHO.

You are right about penmanship, but there are (and always have been) people who could write very well, but who had illegible crap signatures.
But my guess would be that Derek Jeter can't write anything that's readable.
