joewilly12 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 19 minutes ago, Bugg said: Looks more like a low grade episode of "Hoarders". Had some angry woman years back either here or on JI complaining that the Yankees while checking into a hotel on the road didn't use the front door to avoid autograph seekers since her and her kids were waiting by the front door for hours for autographs. Also recall a story of an autograph hound without any apology interrupting Reggie Jackson fork in hand at a Cooperstown steakhouse and blaming Jackson for getting pissed off. So athletes are bad because they want to eat dinner or check into hotel? Aren't the games themselves enough? Granted these guys are paying bills with this money, but if it went away they would be okay. The Mannings are greedy bastards. But they only get away with it because people refuse to take a step back and ask themselves why they care about memorabilia at all. Agree some people are downright rude and cross the line when it comes to autograph seeking. The best is when people make them sign a napkin or the back of the dirty t shirt they are wearing. Athletes deserve their private space and some don't know when to say when. Years ago I had an entire room filled with Jets memorabilia mostly autographed stuff my wife took all the 8x10's out of the frames and put the pictures in plastic and binders and I gave a lot of stuff away.

They way I look at it, if you ask, nicely, at a game or practice, that's not out of line. Now, just cause you ask, they don't have to say yes. When they aren't wearing a uniform, just leave them alone. Years ago, I worked at the Friendly's in Waldwick. Slow night, Lou Pinella comes in with his family. Kinda cool cause he had just won with the Reds, but was wearing his NY WS ring. Anyway, we all leave him alone, he has a nice dinner. At the end, some other family comes up and asks, and you can tell he is so irritated. Side note, I gave him a comment card if he's like to comment on his dinner. He wrote me a nice little note, signed it, and a nice (not insane) tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a piece of art of a family photo. And now has burdened his sister with dealing with getting this crap to people. And many of those people don't want it anyway. It's clutter. I really do not get the whole thing. It's greed, Jeter giving the chicks a fruit basket after a BJ. My ex wife was a boarder line hoarder. Every closet, garage, storage full of crap. Some people just collect and hoard stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
