GHG!Saw Mays sitting with a lady traveling companion at the baggage claim area at Houston Intercontinental Airport about a year ago and decided to try for an autograph. All I had was a wrinkled piece of paper and a ratty golf pencil. When I handed him the paper (the travel itinerary of the person I was meeting), Mr. Mays asked what he was about to sign and then refused to do so. Instead, he ask his companion to give him a sharpie and a baseball card (a 2005 Donruss 'Greats') from her purse. He autographed the card, gave it to me, and thanked me for remembering him as a player. He was, in fact, quite gracious...at least that day.
