Marc S.99% of baseball players, both former and current either are really really nice at times, or jerks at others. At the end of the day, we will all have bad or good experiences with a lot of ballplayers, independent of whether or not that one-off experience is reflective of their overall personality.
Some, like Bob Feller, never seem to be a jerk.
Others, like Dr. Mike Marshall or Barry Bonds, often seem less accommodating, all things considered.
That being said - whatever each of our one experience with the ballplayer is - that will be our memory forever and ever. For me - Cal Ripken was a bit of a jerk, Dennis Eckersley was great, Canseco was a dick, DiMaggio was okay - and myriad other experiences. But - just me.
