After a dangerous and unexpected situation caused "pandemonium" during the Giants post-practice autograph session on the opening day of training camp, the team made immediate changes to their daily program. The autograph sessions have been moved to a new area and they are now only for children 12 and under. |
Good job by the Giants, IMO.
i even saw a guy bring a massive canvas painting in a frame to get signed.
they do have a 12 and below pen which is good, but majorty of autograph seekers seemed to be adults. I dont get the allure of an autograph. maybe when i was a kid it was a big deal, but something about a 45 year old man pushing to get a 23 year olds signature really doesnt make sense..
A lot of these losers are getting stuff signed so they can sell them...
That said, when I was in Basic a bunch of my tailgate buddies from the AOL boards (some of whom are probably on BBI) took a program and got it signed by half a dozen Giants. It meant (and means) a lot to me, if for no other reason than because the last autographs I sought out were probably at FDU.
Beningo said he couldn't believe what was going on when Cruz sat down for the interview. And when the interview was over it sounded like the autograph seekers were getting closer to the mics. Beningo said it was like a rock star treatment.
Anyway, autograph hounds are embarassing, and I always think the adults that do this are just selling it anyway. Disgraceful. Good for the Giants making it kids only.
adult autograph seekers are worse imo.

Also, these losers are sending kids to go get autographs for them.

I just can't grasp how insane that must be to view in person.
And I know very little about these things, but didn't the bottom fall out of the sports collectible market a couple of years ago, except at the very high end? Do people actually make a living doing that?
