John Rocker charges extra for autographs with curse words
John Rocker, ever the opportunist, readily accepts the sideshow nature of his baseball career and, in fact, tries to profit off of it. If, for some reason, you want Rocker’s autograph, you can pay $25 for a profane personalized message.

Hand it to Rocker, he knows his audience. Via ESPN’s Darren Rovell, here’s the price sheet for Rocker’s autograph session at a shop in Cooperstown:
Rocker is most famous for his offensive comments about New Yorkers, gays and immigrants in Sports Illustrated in 1999. His post-baseball career has done nothing but reinforce the fact that he’s a loose cannon with a foul vocabulary and questionable opinions about many things.
But he’s also the guy from whom a “Hey, Mike, go f*** yourself” autograph would make a pretty good gag gift. Well played, Rocker, we admit begrudgingly.
