Anytime I see one of those guys…I instantly think he’s a ****ing douche.

Ever attend a minor league game and see the professional guys there? During college summers, I worked camera for the local minor league team so I saw it firsthand.
They have the big binders, they call the players over, try to talk a bunch of junk about everything, etc. It is pretty awkward to watch.
I have several autographs that I am proud of. I have written several old timers from the 1940s. As a kid, I loved collecting them. But as adults, I have no desire for it. Guess it just feels more junk to pile up. I don't know. Maybe because I discovered the whole seedy underbelly of forgeries and fans almost demanding autographs from players. No matter the location.
And with contracts continuing to rise, fans are only going to become more demanding. The thought process is going to be, if you make tons of money you should sign.
I don't know the answer. If I played, I would want to sign for everyone but that isn't possible. I can understand why some people just avoid the whole thing. The whole scene is a mess.
