Tons of Willie Mays horror stories out there - mostly regarding how he'd purposely ruin items by smudging signatures or signing over other players. I've read that his eyesight lately has been awful, so I'd give him a pass for that if it wasn't for the fact that he was also doing that kind of crap back in the 80s... or so I've read. No firsthand knowledge, but have read enough accounts and also heard firsthand stories.

"The irony of this win for Kershaw is that he wasn't valuable to the Dodgers at all. In fact, you could make the case that he was the least valuable player in all of baseball this year..." NeedChapmans, 11/13/14
