    This from a autograph message board I use. This was posted a couple days ago,


    A couple Bench stories for the people who've dealt with this plesant man before. These two stories happened to a fellow collector tonight. He asked Johnny to add his HOF to his ball. Bench replies "I'm not in the Hall of Fame tonight, so I can't." Then, after the fourth time going through his 1 per line, he says to Johnny, "I bet your sick of getting your picture taken so much tonight." Johnny replies...."no, I'm sick of you coming through my line 100 times!"

    I was watching an old Mission Impossible re-run and Johnny Bench was on the show as a military officer in some banana republic.

    Missed this story 1st time around.

    You got the bat signed for free, have a great story to tell & you got a HOF'er to tell you to take a hike. Looking back, the moment must be priceless.
    Enjoy your collection!

    Yes, that is Bench. I've know a few people who met Johnny, everyone says the same thing.

    Bottom line is he knows and understands the Hobby. It's big buisness. You want something from him, so he just wants something in return.

    I'm not saying I agree with it, but it is the hobby of autographs.

    I asked him to sign a ball "No Runs, Drips or Errors" and he told me to get my commie F$%& &**& out of his &^**% face and %^^$% my big ole' %^&$ corn muffin.
    Kiss me once, shame on you.
    Kiss me twice.....let's party.
