Asking another man for an autograph? What's next, asking him for his seven digits?

Asking for autographs is about the gheyest thing an grown man. I could see if you are a kid... that is kosher. But anyone over the age of 15 that aske for an autograph is borderline stalker or a punk and that annoys me more than a guy that wears a jersey or a necktie/blazer to a game.

I'm just saying...

It's always awkward asking them to sign my man-boob, but once I start crying and sobbing they usually come around.

I got Tigers's autograph on one of my hats at east lake a few years back.

To answer your question, no... I would not ask Hank Aaron for his autograph. What would I do with it anyways? Frame it? Show people and say, "Hey, I got Hank Aaron's autograph!"?

I mean, what do I get out of the deal besides bragging rights to people who probably don't care anyways? At least, that is the reaction I give when someone tells me they have so-and-so's autograph. Big deal. You ran up to a celebrity and took a picture or got them to autograph a restaurant receipt or your shirt. Does that make a person "cool"?

I have men ask me for an autograph all the time. It's usually in a restaurant and they usually ask me to sign something when I'm done eating, but it happens.

Especially for pro football, baseball, basketball players, etc. It's a joke, unless you are in the collector business. I do think you have an ever evolving list of people that give you a pass though. I have one autograph. I was in Starbucks in SanDestin about to play golf and Ben Crenshaw came up behind me in line and asked where I was playing that day. Sr tourney was in town. I asked him to sign my hat. Couldn't help it. Shot one of my best rounds ever that day too. But chasing a 24 yr old football player around for an autograph because he made the All Pro team? Never.

Only men that lust aftger other men's signature and phone number have value in autographs. And really? Has this country come to this... where we place value on someone's signature?

If someone posts an autographed bat from George Brett or an football from Warren Moon in their business or office, is that supposed to make me buy more stuff or persuade me to use them for whatever service I need? I mean really?

I'd prefer talking to an athlete instead of an autograph. It helps if you know something about the person.

An example was rapping with Troy Glaus in 09' when he came to Springfield on a rehabilitation assignment.

Another was a brief chat between innings when Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak sat four seats from us two years ago. I asked what I thought was two intelligent questions about players and his opinion about Matt Holiday future with the team.

LOL, I did see a few adults (men only) ask him to sign their ticket stubs etc.

You were a mature fan. The ones asking for his name and digits? Not so much.
