Some will rarely sign some depending on when are where you catch them. Redskin fans, meet Darrell Green. I have a friend who met Ronnie Lott and ask him for an autograph and Ronnie acted like he wanted him to watch his car for 30 mins like it was such a hassle and a big deal. A lot of it depends on the Athlete and the time and place where you see them.

Not a big autograph guy myself but in general my rule is if it isn't an event where they could expect that they'll be asked to sign I don't ask. I don't even like to approach because I know constantly having people coming up to me, even real politely, would drive me bonkers. Golden rule and all...
If the situation seems cool and it doesn't look like I'd be much of a bother I might toss something conversational at them to gauge their willingness.
Wow...we couldn't be more off-track here.
