I think Rick was simply relating his experiences and his surprise at who he was more often big-leagued by.
As a young reporter I covered a Superbowl team's training camp and 2 mlb teams for a game each. I was amazed as I found the "stars" and a couple hall of famers very approachable and genuienely nice to me. At the time, I'm a pimply faced kid from a station they've never heard of.
I was equally amazed as I was "big-leagued" by a number of .140 hitters and guys who were on the waiver-wires shortly thereafter. It takes no more time to be respectful to someone than it does to be an arrogant, disrespectful guy.
I knew there would be good & difficult guys but was surprised overall at who some of each were.
