MLB Player Calls Zack Greinke ‘Turd’ For Refusing To Sign Autograph

Getting a Major League Baseball player’s autograph must be easier for fellow players than it is for fans, right?

Wrong.

Colorado Rockies reliever Pat Neshek apparently is an avid autograph collector, and he wanted to add Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Greinke to his collection. At this season’s All-Star Game, Greinke supposedly assured Neshek that he would provide his signature. But when the D-Backs played the Rockies a few weeks later, Greinke had a sudden change of tune. And Neshek wasn’t impressed.

Check out Neshek’s fiery takedown of Zack “The Turd” Greinke in this autograph forum post:

Wow. Who new Greinke had such little chill?

If you’re a serious sports memorabilia collector, you know how important — and difficult — it can feel to complete a set, be it of cards, autographs, bobbleheads, or whatever. But after this, we have a feeling Neshek might just cut his losses.
