Mariano Rivera. As classy as they come. The signing I went to was so enjoyable it got me back into collecting.

Dwight Gooden and Bernie Williams were two of the nicest players I have ever had the pleasure to spend time with. Deion Sanders was an arrogant jerk, albeit the time I spent with him was during a short stint in Double-A Albany NY when he was still young.

Buddy Gilbert, who most people have probably never heard of, might be one of the nicest people ever

Anywhere Delta goes.
One of the best conversations I have ever had was with Felipe Alou waiting at an airport gate for our plane. I will never ever forget it.

Mudcat Grant was an absolute blast to hang out with in Cooperstown. Getting drunk in Cooperstown with Boggs was XXXXing riot. Mays is a ****** bag.

Agreed about prime time my dad tried to interview him after the falcons played the bengals years ago in Cincy he yelled at my pops and stormed off. Sean Casey was great he made you feel like you were old friends. Ernie banks held up an appearance to carry on a convo with me when I was about 15 that was awesome

Justin Masterson and Chris Perez were two of the nicer ball players that I ever met.

Michael Brantley is kind of a dork sometimes. Does not seem to like the fans at all.

Asdrubal Cabrera also seems to avoid fans at all costs. Trying to get his autograph is like pulling teeth.

Players that went above and beyond at being nice and actually stopping to talk to you without even the slightest provacation to do so:
Bagwell, Geoff Blum, Jim Deshaies, Art Howe, Luis Gonzalez, Elvin Bethea, Kenny Houston, Matt Schaub, David Anderson, Owen Daniels, Shuan Cody, Kevin Walter, Phil Simms, Luis Scola, Robert Horry, Mario Elie, Brooks Reed, and Connor Barwin were all guys who stand out to me. And Antonio Smith. Yes he's a football player(as a lot of those guys were) but that dude was at training camp this past year quoting Step Brothers while signing autos. He is freaking hilarious! In fact most of the Texans are pretty cool to the fans. Their heads don't get too swollen. Andre Johnson seems like a cool guy but he's real quiet. Same thing with J.J. Watt. Cool guys, people just pester the living hell out of them.

Guy's who for some reason rub me the wrong way:
Biggio, Arian Foster(just recently), Sam Cassell.

I'm not too picky about getting my ******* in a *** because somebody wouldn't sign an auto or stop and have a conversation with me for an hour like they know me. So I don't feel the couple of guys I'm not too happy with fit into that category. But I don't hold it against them because they probably get bugged every waking minute of their life.

And yes Deion Sanders was really standoffish.

Nicest - Al Martin or Turk Wendell


Jerk - Ryan Klesko in a landslide.

Met them all when they played for the Greenville Braves. You'd think a nobody like Klesko would've tried to at least fake it.
