Jurickson took the ball took two steps back and stared my friend right in the face for about 5 seconds giving him a really **** off look, turned the ball to a random spot at wrote what looked like B T #10, and he is not even #10!! Then when i asked for his autograph he said "No i don't have time to sign any more" then he walked over and sat on a bench for about 15 min talking in spanish and pointing at us laughing. some of the other people getting autographs said he is a really big jerk. No dought the worst IP moment iv ever had!
That sucks. I've gottan a few top prospects and the only jerk I came across so far was Francisco Lindor. He refused EVERYONE.. even kids. He literally walked right through the crowd of 10-15 people and went straight to the bus and put his headphones on.
On the bright side... the GOOD ones that I have encountered are Archie Bradley (he will sign EVERYTHING), Taijuan Walker, Byron Buxton, Carlos Correa, Robert Stephenson, and Tyler Skaggs. All of those guys are classy and great signers.
