That if I spent $100 to attend the dinner; I'd be dammed if I did not get a few autographs during the event. To me; that is part of the purpose of an event like that -- if I sat all evening listening to Bob Oldis tell stories; I'd want him to sign the program provided for THAT event, which probably was not available on the show floor. I do understand that players are people and have a right to dine in peace; but,.... $100 for no autos on the item made especially for that event,... then I'd be a bit pissed.
