Haha! I have nothing but good memories from my autograph hound days although there were a number of snubs.

This is my Dale Murphy memory. We were at the hotel one day getting autographs and I asked him if it would be possible to get a bat and he said sure. I went to the Braves/Giants game that evening, got his attention after BP and he reached into the bat rack and handed me a bat and signed it.
