Answer 8

I don't think paying to get an autograph at a card show counts as "meeting" a player.

I work in the entertainment industry so I've been able to meet tons of players - I've even got to shag balls for the Mariners and A's during spring trainings. The Ms gave me a jersey and hat, so when I came off the field, all the little kids thought I was a Mariners player and were asking for my autograph. I tried explaining I was not on the team but they wouldn't believe me, so there are now all kinds of baseballs out there with the Mariners team and me on it.
