I doubt anyone wanted an autograph from him shortly after that game.

And I do not remember that play at all, but its very scary looking.

I like Gretzky's, but Crosby's is a little odd.

Nick Lidstrom's is great. He signed a few things for me and all were like, identical, legible signatures:

I have a Mario Lemieux one that says "Best wishes Daniel" (yes thats my name). My godmother was a flight attendant and saw him and knew I was obsessed with him. This was maybe 10 years ago too. That autograph is priceless to me.

Pat Neshek's is tight

[NJUNDERDOG]

daryl strawberry has one of the worst signatures ive ever seen. he never signs his name the same way. its an ever changing thing that has evolved to get more illegible over the course of his career.

I owned Jeremy Affeldt

When Mike and Mike in the Morning was down in Florida for ESPN the Weekend, Steve Phillips was there doing a segment with them and they have a live audience whenever they're on location and they put the Mets fans there up front for when Phillips was on and during commercial some went up to the desk as the fans were free to do and asked Phillips for autographs. One kid apparently said "Hey, can you sign my jersey?" Phillips agreed and the kid goes "Yeah, just sign it: Steve Phillips, Mets Killer." Hahaha.

And he did.

One of the other Mets fans said "Thanks for signing Mo Vaughn and convincing me he'd be good. I've got a $100 jersey of his sitting in my closet."

I love the way Kobe signs his Ks

Yeah I have Lidstroms autograph too and its very similar to that, just more compacted. I should really admired the fact that I have an autographed Lidstrom puck made out to me sitting on my dresser, but honestly I always forget its there haha.

In 1997 I went to the last regular season Tigers game of the year against the Yankees. My dad recieved Tigers Den tickets as a bonus/reward from work and we sat right behind homeplate. Everyone was drinking the Tigers Kool-Aid because they finished around .500 and Randy Smith was named executive of the year. Well that douschebag was walking around Tigers den talking to people, shaking hands and signing autographs. He came up to me tried to give me a high five I wouldnt do it, then he asked to sign my program, didnt ask if I wanted him to, he kinda demanded that he did and my parents told me to let him. I refused once again and told him he was stupid for trading Fielder and Fryman. He got all shocked and offended from an 8 y/o kids opinion and walked away with my parents apologizing to him.

Still to this day, the proudest fucking moment of my life. That Steve Phillips Mets killer story reminded me a little of that haha.

I have a Hamels like this. And a ball signed by the 1980 Phillies World Series team. My grandfather used to own a club in Philly and the sports players were always in there.

I also have a signed Bernie Parent Mask, which is sweet.

I think somewhere along the way I also got a Jack Youngblood autographed card. I think it was something for Pop Warner in Florida. And then I have some Eagles, but only 2 current players in Akers and Gocong.

Best autograph ever? And I wish I had it.

is that Hunter from this spring training? I've heard the Angels are the worst signing MLB team.

[salmarnirecho]

Greg Maddux has a horrendous signature.

Vlad and Garret Anderson never sign, but Torii, Gary Matthews, Nick Adenhart, Jeff Mathis, and Jon Garland all signed the day I was there.

oh nice, I'd get Adenhart. You should post on pat neshek's message board if you're an autograph type dude, the hauls those people pull in are amazing.
