Max Muncy Complaining About Fan Autograph Requests is a Bad Look
Max Muncy made his first All-Star Game in 2019 and provided some postseason magic for Los Angeles Dodgers fans.
That has a lot of fans excited and seeking autographs. Muncy is not in the mood for such requests.
Imagine being ungrateful for your fans.

There are better ways to go about this, @maxmuncy9. This ain’t it. pic.twitter.com/10JYKVnORP
This is quite the odd response from Muncy. He could have easily expressed his gratitude while saying he will not respond to all the requests. Simply showing the amount of mail would stress that there is just too much to handle.
But no. He totally missed the mark and failed to realize that many of those requests may have come from young Dodgers fans.
Sure, there are some greedy individuals among the bunch. There are also younger fans who were just excited to write a letter to a big leaguer.
Thoughts on Max Muncy’s post?

Mine: Bush league comments by Muncy. Nobody is owed an autograph, etc. Muncy coming out & posting his disdain for FAN mail is BS. How many of those letters are from little kids reaching out to someone they look up to & strive to be? Bad look, Max. https://t.co/BvQmClJaPB
This is not something that will scar Muncy's name among Dodgers fans. It is just not a good look for a player so many fell for in 2019.
In a time when MLB is trying to expand the popularity of the game and highlight some of the league's best personalities, Muncy isn't doing himself any favors.
