The dude who was hounding him looked like a reerun.

I usually just ask politely. I don't mind being told no. I don't think I look like some of those pushy asshole autographed collectors that also look like they have a disability. Some of them will seriously push and show to be first in line. I've been known to ask a few of them if they are adults. However, I'm in need of borrowing someone's child for increased success. And I'm making my wife ask for autographs this spring because women are key as well. No ball players deny the ladies! So I'm also up for borrowing any CP members wives/bitches....
