To quote Peter Griffen, “You know what really grinds my gears…”
Autographs . . . why can’t players bother to sign a decent autograph. I was perusing the eBay for some signed cards and came across this:
I just about blew my stack, what the hell is that? Is it some new Japanese player coming over to play baseball? No, it’s a football player, come on you can figure it out without looking at the picture below, I mean it’s easy to read right? NO:
Are you freaking kidding me? What the hell is that, I mean I see the 41 tucked in there, but um, maybe I can make out a D but that’s about it. There are so many shitty autographs out there like Tom Brady . . .
At least I can make out the T and B, what ever happened to great penmanship and don’t tell me it’s from the crush of autographs these guys sign here are two great signatures:
It’s not just baseball players sign better, they really don’t and not all football players have awful signatures:
I would say that Peyton signs many more autographs than Jonathan Dwyer, before I wrap this up though, this has to be my all time favorite slacking of an autograph:
Thank my friends is Vernand Morecy’s division sign autograph. What the hell man? Well at least everyone can say they can sign his name. For more great horrible signatures go to Drew’s Cards Blog, where he had a tournament of the worst signatures:
What is the worst autograph you have seen and who right now has the best autograph?
Worst autograph I saw/received is Neftali Feliz in person. This when he was playing in Double A affiliate Frisco and got this from him:

It’s a mess
It hasn’t changed much
I disagree with your assessment on the Dwyer — it’s just as artistic as the Bannister, in my opinion. With the Dwyer you can tell there was some thought put into it. The compactness of it also hints that it was fully intended to look like that — it’s not just a chicken-scratch or a sloppy version of his name.
I agree, I like the Dwyer. it’s small but stylized, it at least looks like it takes a little time.
I’ll take both from my Twinkies. Miguel Sano has a very terrible auto, but Michael Cuddyer has a beautiful one. Cuddyer once had a shitty auto himself, until Mr. Killebrew showed him how it’s done.
I think the chris johnson c.j autograph is ridiculous and a slap in the face
I just looked at the brackets for the very first time. Philllies catcher Carlos Ruiz should have been in this tournament.
Auto looks stylish. Much worse out there.
Worst autograph of all time easily…Marian Hossa. Here’s one of his UD autos on ebay…
