He wouldn't even sign for kids who wrote to him. I am one of two people I know of who both wrote to him as young kids many, many years ago. (Yes, it's strange that any kid would know who he was, but it's nice to know I wasn't alone!). No reply from Smyres, though.
The mention of his autograph's rarity actually made it to print extremely early, in a 1977ish Sporting News blurb.
