Nicest - Ralph Kiner. I saw him sign for literally hundreds of people at a show. He also spoke to each one for an average of two minutes and sometimes more. This, despite being 90 years old and having suffered a stroke. His memory is still as sharp as ever. He also charged a low fee.
Wesley Walker - Former Jets WR superstar signed a black and white photograph for me when I was in the hospital as a kid
Wilt Chamberlain - I saw him sign for hundreds of kids after a charity basketball game for free. One year later, he died.
Walt Frazier - a great signer and genuinely nice man
Harmon Killebrew - very nice guy who had a low fee. It is a shame he died from cancer.
Bob Feller - one of the nicest Hall of Famers you will meet. Loved to talk. Charged a low fee. Very personable. Signed everything.
Al Leiter, signed four autographs for me for free at an early appearance in the late 80s.
Mike Piazza - I saw him sign a bunch of autographs for a Medal of Honor recipient and was very gracious and respectful about it. Very nice guy.
Martin Brodeur - spoke to me for 10 minutes about his career and I didn't even buy an autograph.
Whitey Ford - nice guy. Told me Ted Williams was the toughest hitter he faced (obviously). Charges a high fee but he deserves it.
Not so nice - Yogi Berra. Saw him once at an appearance charging over $100 a pop, unwilling to talk to anybody and gave a group of two mothers and their children a hard time for taking too many pictures.
