“I have always felt very strongly that if someone thinks enough of me that they want my autograph, I should provide one that they can read. Very little irritates me more these days than to see the illegible autographs that some people give out.”

I remember a story about Arnold Palmer, when he was much younger he was scribbling an autograph next to an older, more experienced golfer. It may have been Ben Hogan (may not of been, I can't remember). He came down on the young Arnie, saying people are asking you for your autograph because they are fans. Do them the respect of signing something they can read. Leading to this famous autograph.
I don't understand why someone would want to give an illegible autograph. It defeats the purpose.
