This story actually comes from a friend of mine. When he was a kid Ricky Henderson was his favourite player.
He attended an Oakland game (when Ricky played for them). My friend sat beside the dugout, and when the game was over the players were walking toward the dugout/dressing room, my friend (7 yrs old at the time) asked Ricky to sign his glove as he walked by.
Ricky said "No I'm busy".
As he continued to watch Ricky walk back to the dugout saddened by his hero, he proceeded to watch him sit and shine his bat.
