Man, tough crowd. Endure death threats and see how you feel about racism. Is he supposed to be a saint, or eternally grateful because he has earned a good living?

No. He is supposed to be grateful that he is able to earn decent living selling his autograph. If he can't be civil and an ambassador to the game, he should only do private signings.

+1. No one has to go to shows. If the whole thing makes you uncomfortable don't do it. But if you do it with a chip on your shoulder and look down at or belittle people paying $$ to meet you I can't excuse that.

Sorry, but I have 3 friends who met him at different shows over the years and all found him incredibly rude and dismissive.

His importance in baseball and American History is undeniable. Doesn't make him humble or other things the OP said.

I do not know him. Never met him. Do not do not do autographs. I am glad I saw him play in person. Great ball player.

Three friends over years doesn't seem like a large enough sampling for me to adopt a negative opinion of the man. By "incredibly rude," what is meant, exactly?

Perhaps the OP had a different experience altogether with the man, and so his opinion is as valid as another's.
