It does seem like the guy asked for an autographs and they other guy next to Breece started talking shit, hence why the guy got pissed off. Why else would he say then go ahead and slap me?
generally speaking aren't the most pleasant people you come across. Remember the rush at Giants camp when they crashed the bleachers trying to get to OBJ and Cruz and nearly hurt kids, so the Giants changed the policy that only kids can go.
You see pro athletes and pro wrestlers getting surrounded at airports all the time and it's an annoyance at least and can be dangerous at most. I think Rhea Ripley called it out last year.
I'm sure this wasn't Breece Hall's first encounter with guys like this and trying to travel, sometimes you don't want to deal with it. Banks at least tried to be a peacemaker, but this guys' response I think kind of tells you what his deal was. Normally if you ask for an autograph and the person says no, you move on. Looking for a confrontation more or less tells you what you need to know.
But in general yea, asking for an autograph for yourself as an adult is weird.

I'd even go further and say I never understood the appeal behind wearing a jersey.
