In 1988 I knew a guy that had spent all year getting a ball signed by all the A's players, saving the sweet spot for Canseco. He finally tracked him down at the local Black Angus in San Leandro. He handed the ball to Canseco and asked him to sign the sweet spot. Instead, he turned the ball and signed his name across a bunch of other sigs.
Personally, I would have been breaking some fingers at the point.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
