Does anyone else find this autograph pathetic

[frikativ54]

While I like the old timers way of signing as a work of art, like Ted Williams, I respect that the player owns his signature and he can sign as he pleases.

I love neat signatures myself. But, from what I've heard, penmanship isn't emphasized in schools anymore, so does it surprise anyone that in this internet age how bad athletes' signatures are? Especially if they are signing hundreds of cards?

I agree that a bunch of scribbles is insulting to fans, but how many cards do these guys autograph? Try signing your name 500 times; I can guarantee you that your John Hancock would be much more sloppy.

While Myers's signature may be pathetic, it's better than having an athlete's girlfriend write them all out. Assuming he signed them himself. And I have heard of cases where it's not even the player autographing the cards.

How about the Babe Ruth secretarial autographed baseballs?

Darren Rovell I think tweets out 1/day of bad athlete sigs. The one today was Giovani Bernard from the Bengals, haha it was like a little circle and a squiggle
