Re: Autograph Hounds
Thinking about this some more, I can't understand where the profit comes from. It's one thing if Rick Ankiel signs my program. It's a little strange to cherish that, but it's a personal memento. Who would buy an autographed picture of Pete Kozma in a Johnson City uniform?Hungary Jack wrote:Frankly, I hate the US culture of pop-star worship, and I think at least some of the autograph-hounding by adults is a manifestation of it. And doing it for personal profit is pathetic, IMO.
If I run into him in Dayton, I'm going to ask him to sign these things "Rick Porcello."

Re: Autograph Hounds
The adults with their photo albums full of autographed cards of minor league players are some of the oddest people I run into at a ballpark.
At Kane Cty, the access to them isn't that great. Beloit is another story, to get from the clubhouse to the dugouts, you have to walk by concessions and behind the grandstands so it's full of weirdos having players sign everything.
