Bo was his favorite player right up until that moment. After, he traded away all his Bo baseball cards because of the interaction. Thinking I may still have a few of them in the attic (of course I capitalized, who wouldn't? it's freaking Bo Jackson).

I'm surprised by that interaction with Bo Jackson. I got his autograph as a kid outside the K twice. This was at the peak of his fame. Bo was pretty much the only player who stopped walking to their car to take time to sign for a large amount of kids all while dragging his young son behind him.

A friend in college had a little brother who was in the same grade as one of Bo's kids at school. I guess they had gone to birthday parties at Bo's house. Said it was a great even and the whole family was super nice.

Closest I’ve ever come to an awkward interaction with someone of notoriety was Dante Hall. Went to say hello to him before a Chiefs game and shake his hand and at the exact same time I came up to him he dropped his sunglasses on the ground and broke them. Guy was immediately irritated so I awkwardly walked away cause he was too bothered to say anything back.

Priest Holmes. Actually saw the guy rudely turn down the request of a kid with downs syndrome who asked him for an autograph in a hotel lobby.

He was walking with T.Rich and Gonzo, both of whom signed the kid's football and posed for pictures with thr kid and his family.

My opinion of Priest changed that day. I understand that an athlete is under no obligation to sign anything from anybody. But the way he rudely turned that kid down was shocking. Maybe he had his reasons. But you could definitely tell the kid had downs syndrome, and was just so excited to see the players, especially Priest. The kid was even wearing a #31 jersey. Un-****ing believable how it all went down.
