One year at Tigers camp Gary Sheffield was giving everyone the run around. He wouldn't even look at people. At Tigers camp the player parking lot is situated near the back fields. When practice ends, security makes everyone leave the back fields and then you all set up along the railing that leads into the clubhouse.

My dad and I slipped through security and were able to post up along the fence that separated the back fields and the players parking lot. While Sheffy walked to his car, we waved at him. He got in a huge SUV and pulled up right alongside us at the fence, signed our balls for us through his driver side window, and sped past everyone else.
