Pat Neshek, who currently plays for Colorado Rockies, has been a top-notch reliever over the past six years. He’s made two All-Star appearances, including one this season (while with the Phillies). He’s a good pitcher!

Neshek’s also a huge baseball memorabilia collector. He wrote about his card collection (and, incidentally, his love of metalcore music) on his website, and he also is a poster on the Sportscollectors.net message board.


Though his website has since fallen silent, Neshek is still an active poster on the message board, and he recently posted on the site about a run-in with D-Backs pitcher Zack Greinke. Neshek called him an “ahole” and a “turd” and said that Greinke told him “no I will never sign for you.”





In a follow-up post, Neshek tells a story of Livan Hernandez literally cutting up Randy Johnson’s jersey after Johnson wouldn’t sign for him:




Major leaguers trading around their own autographs is common, though Neshek seems to be an outlier in terms of his memorabilia devotion. He had a pretty good line when the forum drama picked up attention:





If you want to be really nice, send him a Zack Greinke autograph.

huh? Why you Dbaging this guy and not the Greinke guy? he's the dbag in this scenario.

Its one thing to turn down autograph seekers as they line up 50 deep at the hotel or during BP, but to turn down a colleage is pretty weak. Where is the professional courtesy?


NOMINATION FIRMLY REJECTED.

Adult autograph seekers should be included in the Nazi exemption.

Yes.

It keeps him from signing autographs apparently.

Might be the worst DB nomination in history here.

Didn't realize we had so many people sympathetic to Whining Millionaire adult autograph seekers.

This seems odd on MANY fronts. Neshek is odd to be doing this, but using the context of what RPB posted it does not seem to be an uncommon thing among big league players.

Grienke is also odd for not wanting to scribble something on a few cards which were sent to him so he could have done so in the privacy of his own locker room.

Agreed. Fuckin' weird.

Also, Im partially joking on the adult autograph thing. Do whatever makes you happy.

But for this NERD to go on a message board and complain about it is DB worthy for sure.

Yup. Its also very DB worthy to follow a guy around the outfield "telling him what you think of him" because he doesn't sign an autograph. If its a dick move than let him be a dick and move on.

Neshek might be a pissant, but Greinke didn't have to go all aspergers on him. Sheesh.
