I remember reading that players resented him for this. But, I haven't heard it in a while............And, I haven't really ever heard him coming across bad to a fan. Everybody I know who has been in his gallery, including me, have had good interactions..............I have a friend who somehow connected with him and every year, he would give his daughter a glove or something at the Labor Day tourney in Boston (where my friend would marshall)..........When, his daughter came down with terminal brain cancer, he went way beyond that.
