Way more good stories than bad stories, but here's a bad one:

My friends and I used to go to the Mariner's games at the Kingdome after we got our driver's licenses in the mid-80s. The crowds were so small that you could stand by the player's gate and have all kinds of interactions with visiting players, since no one else was there.

My friend had this baseball card:



Earlier in the season, he'd waited by the gate and had Wally Joyner sign his side of the card (super nice guy).

The A's came to town and my friend handed the card to Jose Canseco to sign his half of the card. (There were 6 of us at the gate, no other fans). Canseco took the card, signed his side of it, then ripped it in half, handed his side of the card back to my friend and took Wally Joyner's side of the card with him.

Biggest dick move I've ever seen.

Here's another one, again, Mariners related:

Friends and I (4 of us) were standing next to the Brewers dugout as they finished BP, and Cecil Cooper walked by. We offered our gloves for him to sign (and we were polite, it was always "Mr. So-and-So", never rude or demanding). He dead-eyed all of us, then stopped, right in front of us (if we had wanted to touch him, we could have), stopped, kneeled, and re-tied each of his shoes, while staring right at us.

Then, he stood up and walked into the dugout.

As we're watching him walk in the dugout, Paul Molitor approached us and took our gloves and signed all of them and said "that guy's a huge a-hole" in reference to Cecil Cooper. Molitor (and Moose Haas) hung around and talked with us for about 10 minutes, both guys were very cool and made up for bizarre snub by Cooper.
