Personally, I think you were in the wrong for the way you acted just as much as Griffey was. By being rude to him, you've only made it that much more likely that a rough signer isnt going to sign at all for the rest of the season.
Personally, I think you have a warped sense of opinion. I woulda gone off on the jerk a lot more than Nic if I was him. Players have NO reason to act like that to the fans. Period.
