Interaction depends on the athlete. Some are interactive, some are aloof. I'd like to see at the least eye contact and a friendly word.

I know a guy who took a game used bat to be signed and the player (Willie McCovey?) said "I remember this bat. It looks as if it has a few bits left in it" and stood up and posed with it. With the crowd watching, the bat owner was quite pleased with the reaction.
