I once saw Frank Robinson when he was managing the Orioles around 1990, on a trip to Boston. It was a Sunday, their last day in town. I approached him outside of Fenway with no one else around, and asked him politely to sign my 1967 Orioles card with he, Brooks Robinson and Hank Bauer, already signed by the other two.
He looked at the card, saw it was signed by the others, and said, "Nice card you got there, signed by Hank and Brooks." I said, "Thank you, Mr. Robinson - would you mind signing it for me?" He said, "I'll sign it for you tomorrow." I responded, "But it's your last day in Boston." He loudly laughed and said, "I know," and walked into the park. I wonder what would've happened if I followed the Orioles to the next town and presented the card to him then. What a jerk.
