This & NY Times R. Robinson story remind me of getting autographs in 1940s at NYC hotels. Ted Williams signed my picture only after he read a writers caption on pic. He always wanted to read what the Knights of the Keyboard said about him. Ted then went around the side of Commodore Hotel & my identical twin asked him to sign a pic. Ted initially refused, as my brother tried to explain,
but then he signed gruffly saying "You don't have a twin". Stan Musial was easily the most generous of those era stars, I have 5 pics signed by him at Hotel New Yorker.
