Good topic! I used to go to Fenway in the early '90's and it was pretty easy to obtain autographs. Now it's a farce. People shoving and pushing, players and their mostly surly attitudes.
Also, probably doesn't help these days that kids refer to the players by number. "Hey 22 over here!"
When Jeff Frey played for the Red Sox many people mistook him for Scott Fletcher... calling him Scott, Mr. Fletcher, etc. I knew it was Frye and yelled Mr, Frye will you sign? He came right over and told me he appreciated that I knew who he was!!
