Penmanship is an interesting topic among athletes. I got a big kick out of watching the players exit the court at last year's U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows.
Most just made swipes at programs and such. Last Summer at the St. Jude's Classic in Memphis I noticed most of the golfers took their time and made nice signatures for fans.
These posts and those experiences sent me to my folders to see if signatures varied by sport or by generation.
Of all my autographs the golfers were by far the best and there also seemed to be a dramatic difference in players in all sports that played their games before 1980. Also right behind the golfers were the football guys.
This is a very unscientific study as you might imagine.
