No one seems to think that Rios is entitled to privacy? And what's the kid going to do with the autograph, turn around and make a buck on it? I put up with the little turds while watching the Reds in the 80s. We had box seats three rows behind the visiting dug out and they bugged players all through the warm ups/bp and the game. The older ones often got beligerent and confrontational and it wasn't unusual to hear the phrase 'you suck" or 'asshole' come from a kid. Many approached with multiple items to have the player sign, then ran back to their seats and turned the autographs over to adults. Like maybe all the adults standing around and getting on Rios's case in this clip.

I don't believe a player has to turn around everytime a kid aproaches. It's often not as innocent as it sounds.
