I seem to remember hearing Tom Herr did that, but that's definitely no longer the case with him. There may have been others, I believe it was mostly religious guys who took issue with the Garbage Pail Kids.

Wow, that is some serious pettiness. Remember when life was so mellow the only things people had time to grumble about was Garbage Pail Kids?

Lol, no kidding. For better or worse, there are cartoons on TV regularly that are 100x worse than Garbage Pail Kids. The times they are a-changin'...

Got two more baseball ones to add that I found out while going for the Frisco Roughriders this weekend:

Josh Stowers: will not sign unlicensed photos

Jonathan Ornelas: will no longer sign his 2018 Bowman Draft card. For unknown reasons it lists him as a member of the Diamondbacks and in a D-Backs uni... even though he was a Rangers draft pick and hasn't played in any other organization. He signed it or me in 2019 but has stopped now that he has Rangers cards.
