Greg "The Bull" Luzinski. He was signing autos at a card show back in 1988 or 1989. You had to hand your item to an assistant who handed it to Luzinski. After he signed it he handed it to another person who gave it back to you. He wouldn't even look at you. I was 14 at the time and it still disgusts me. I'm a Phillies fan and believe me the bull wasn't that good of a player. DH playing in the NL. Next time I go to see the Phillies I might just look for him at that stupid bullpen of his and give him hell!
On the other hand, I've acquired several autos from HOFer's at shows over the years and always received a handshake and/or thanks. That's all most people ask for, a little personal interaction. Off the top of my head Willie Stargell, Brooks Robinson, Richie Ashburn and Stan Musial were all very gracious.
