WTF?

These guys invent a little doodle, and call it their "autograph." But it's not the way they "really" sign their names.

As John Lennon famously said, "Nothing is real."

Granderson is a heck of a player and he seems like a quality human being and a bright guy.

But his autograph is god-awful. As a collector, I find it so much harder to spring for an autographed item when the sig is an ugly mess. Probably why I have about 20 Mariano Riveras and zero Curtis Grandersons.

And yes, the Johann Santana sig is a thing of refinement and beauty.
