Kinda sucks. It's why I've never really had an interest in meeting Ozzie Smith. That way, as far as I'll ever know, my childhood hero was a class-act and all around boy scout.
But for many folks that grew up idolizing George Brett, meeting their hero didn't leave them with warm and fuzzies. I know he was good and shitcanned when I met him and pretty much an obnoxious buffoon. When I told my folks about it, they both said they'd met him a few years earlier and it was the same story - though they think he was sober, just an asshole.
That said - you couldn't find a better guy to emulate between the lines. Brett was the perfect ballplayer, IMO.

That asshole tried to fight my dad at a Blades game.
