[shelly]

My top five> Killibrew,Kiner,Mantle,Robinson and Lefty Gomez.
Worst, Mays, AAron, Schmidt,Dimaggio and Bench.
There are many more bad guys than good.

That is exactly why I choose not to meet them. I don't want to take the risk and ruin any admiration that I have for them as players.

Top tw0 people that no longer do public signings. Ali, Koufax


I l left out one of the greate persons ever to do a signing with and have as a guest. Lets Play Two.

Pete Rose signs in Cooperstown every year. He used to be a real jerk but now can be very accommodating especially with kids. My worst experience was with Bench. He is a real jackass. My brother and nephew were with me. He actually insulted an eight year old kid. It is no exaggeration to say that I restrained my brother from punching him out.

Tom - maybe you can take some solace in this:
years ago Johnny Bench was shilling for Home Shopping and he would actually get on TV and say "here is my autograph, it is worth $xxxxx but you can buy it here and now for only $xx." The NYC Dept of Consumer Affairs opened an investigation into Home Shopping and fined Bench $5000 for his lies.
Home Shopping was also fined.

I agree with Mays being the worst. Blyleven use to be very cool until he made the HOF. Since he made the HOF it is all about the dollar.

I would say best are:
Killebrew
Feller
Banks
B Robinson
Kiner
Gomez
Josh Hamilton

The two worst by far for me were:
Mays
Bench

I have a question for you re: Gomez on my 1941 Yankee ball thread. Could you address it when you have a chance, please?

Thank You!
