Luckily, the weather held off until just after the players loaded the buses after tonight's game. I did a bit of wrap up work, with the only real miss being Damian Moss, which did not surprise me thanks to the past two games. The only other cards left over were a few Chuck James, which is no biggie. An interesting thing happened tonight right at the end. Matt DeSalvo finally decided to get on the bus after hiding out and chatting with someone. Now, Matt is a relatively odd guy as he will look you up and down a few times before signing for some reason. Well, as he gets ready to board the bus, a few of us got over there. He looks at us and says something to the effect of, "What are we doing now?" Well, one of the fellow autographers said something along the lines of, "You're gonna sign". Well DeSalvo responds something about signing for each of them the past few days. Well, autographer Kevin says.. Well, you can inscribe it "To Kevin fuck you" for all I care. Well DeSalvo starts to sign, asking another guy if he can inscribe it "Fuck You", to which the guy was like.. "uhh, no". I then give him my card and tell him my name, to which he doesn't inscribe it at all. This is weird, since yesterday I asked him to inscribe my card (DeSalvo used to only inscribe last year, so I figured why not). Well, he gets to Kevin and writes "To Kevin, Go Fuck Yourself" and doesn't even sign the card! Soon after, he goes to the other bus and gets Scott Thorman to come off and look at the card. It was just a very weird and almost uncomfortable situation. DeSalvo obviously has an issue with people who could be dealers (the two people he really did this to had probably had him sign 20+ cards each, which included multiples of many.), so I guess I am not too surprised. But I never would expect any player to write the F-bomb on a card..
