I sign every autograph I can for kids because I remember myself at that age. I think it's ridiculous that some guys won't sign for a kid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had my autograph down by the age of 13. I used to sign it everywhere.
I was one of those little girls who practiced signing autographs since I was 5 years old.
Well, you know, it's fun to sign autographs still for me. I don't sign that many.
It's always been kind of weird to me because when you give someone an autograph, you're looking down at a piece of paper and once you sign it the person moves on.
I've always favored kids as a player. If I walked out of the locker room and there were 100 people there and 50 of them were kids, I'd sign the 50 kids before anything else.
I wasn't your average kid. I was signing autographs in Japan at 12.
I always signed autographs when I could and always stayed and chatted with them when I could.
The fact that people actually want my autograph is crazy.
I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.
I don't sign autographs when I'm out for a meal or out with my kids. I think that's rude and disrespectful. I would never ask anyone for an autograph while they were eating dinner; that's what I was taught by my parents.
