This is exactly what Aeneas W. does. On Thurs. afternoon, I waited against the fence trying to get various autographs and Aeneas was the first to "run the autograph gauntlet". He signed for two kids to the left of me, skipped me and signed for a kid to the right of me. I thought to myself, I'm 6'4" 290 lbs, how did he not see me? Then I noticed that he was only signing for kids. That I could understand. So my wife took our 6-month-old to the other end of the fence and Aeneas quite graciously signed for her. He even stopped to play with my son for a little bit. I've heard there are others who have the same "kids only" policy, but Aeneas was the only one I experienced.
Now for Bulger and the comments:
1. Mok is right. The article does seem particularly anti-Warner. Simply because the article could have been written w/o ever mentioning Kurt's name. But it didn't. And writers who don't make disrespectful comments don't have to use phrases like...

But then again...
2. Nick is right. I don't think Bulger was intentionally taking shots at Warner. I think his point was that he is taking every step to improve from last year. He has something to prove, and I think he knows it. And as far as him signing autographs, from what I saw, he signed for every person that wanted one. I didn't see him skip anybody.
Bottom line. I think Thomas did take a few pot shots at Warner, but I don't think Bulger did. Martz...well, I'll stay out of that debate.
