ot- nicest baseball players you have met? (and the not so nice) - wscards5 - 07-02-2008 Nicest- Dee Brown, he was always very nice at all of his minor league games in wichita, signed for everyone. Sean Rodriguez(Angels)- He is one of my favorite guys to get to sign cause he would stand there and talk to everyone, sign, and give baseballs to all the little kids. Joey Gathright- Just an all around nice guy Ricky Weeks- Chased him down the sidewalk in Stlouis. haha he just laughed and signed me a few autos and took a picture Worst- Juan Encarnacion, he wouldent sign for two little kids on a minor league rehab and they where the only two asking for one. Eric Patterson- wouldnt sign for me in Omaha agianst the royals just ignored me. even his team mate scott moore said he was a jack*** ot- nicest baseball players you have met?

I was four years old at the grocery store right after the Bulls had won the title. I said "congratulations Mr. Jackson" in my four year old voice, and with no one else even near him or me, he completely ignored me. Also, I have to disagree with whoever said Aaron Rowand was on the negative side. At a Sox game when he was on the team, everyone was waiting for his auto and others as the team came out to stretch. He took the time to come over and say that the team was running a little late that day, and that he would do his best to come back after. He then came and signed after the warmup time with other sox players. ot- nicest baseball players you have met?

I have generally heard he is a nice guy; maybe I just caught him on a bad day. But the one thing to remember is although I am 23, I look like I am 16. When I say that I am a Junior, people assume high school and ask me where I want to go to college. Which makes me mad because I am mid-way through my Junior year in college! So - I see no reason to be rude to someone who looks like they are a teenager. That is really interesting about Billy Wagner. He was honestly the nicest and friendliest guy that I have ever met! Anybody on this board have experiences with Hanley Ramirez? ot- nicest baseball players you have met? (and the not so nice) - sethyarkony - 07-02-2008 frikativ54 Wrote:I have to agree about Billy. Met him at a signing at the Times Square Toys R Us and he was great.

George Brett wasn't very nice the day I saw him as he even refused auto's to children at a charity basketball game. ot- nicest baseball players you have met? (and the not so nice) - Irtazman - 07-02-2008 one of the nicest was Todd hundley when with the mets. Saw him at the astrodome. Some kid next to me knew his nickname from when he was a kid, so he came over and chatted with us for like 20 minutes during warmups. Not so nice: Griffey Jr. Went to yankee stadium and he was in leftfield during BP. A kid asked him to sign an UD rokkie card (Back when it was worth like 150). Griffey tells him throw it down and he'll sign it on his way in, so the kid did it (Was in toploader). 10 minutes later griffey starts jogging in, turns to come over and grab the card. He just stopped in front of it, looked at the kid and laughed and jogged away leaving the kids card on the ground unsigned. ot- nicest baseball players you have met?

Was at a restaurant for my 21st and saw a guy come in and told my buddy that's Michael and he didn't believe me, but when he turned he had on Nationals Under Armor on and was sure it was him. Said hey Michael and talked to him for a few minutes. I'm sure he doesn't get recognized too often. ot- nicest baseball players you have met?

Marc-Andre Fleury is also very nice and loves to talk to his fans. Thats great to hear about MAF, as i want to get an IP auto someday from him. I met Griffey Jr back in the early 90s in an exhibition game against the Mariners AAA team, Calgary. Griffey was great and signed multiples for everyone. ot- nicest baseball players you have met? (and the not so nice) - bgrecco18 - 07-02-2008 Minors: NICE Clint Sammons Vladimir Nunez Wes Timmons Brent Lillibridge Brandon Jones Matt DeSalvo (very strange, but nice) Sal Fasano (incredibly nice) Pretty much all of the R-Braves except Damian Moss Andrew McCutchen (missed 2 of 4 games with stomach virus but still signed everything) Jay Bruce - Signed everything John Parrish Bill Murphy Josh Fields (a very strange turnaround) Scott Moore Mike Costanzo Tom Shearn Jon Weber Jeff Niemann NOT Homer Bailey Lance Broadway Tomo Okah Brett Gardner A few more random guys I can't remember Majors Nice Tim Lincicum Matt Cain Prince Fielder Ryan Braun Mike Cameron Ryan Zimmermann Don Sutton Grumpy Aaron Rowand Randy Winn Bill Hall (I think it was a bad day) Most guys are nice enough, some may be more talkative than others but they are fine. Some are just not. ot- nicest baseball players you have met? (and the not so nice) - kptteix23 - 07-02-2008 Some of you guys have it all wrong, just because a player doesn't sign or sign multiple items of yours, doesn't mean that they are bad guys. I saw some threads on this were they listed a guy as "Worst" because he didn't sign or was quiet. Not all guys are outgoing. |
