Different areas of the human tongue have sensitivities to different tastes. Each of these areas contains proportionately more of certain chemoreceptors. Typically, the middle-front of the tongue is more sensitive to sweet tastes, the sides to salty tastes, the center-back to sour tastes, and the very back to bitter tastes.

I've never heard of a ballplayer refusing to sign a sweet spot. This might just be an isolated incident. If anything a ball player if handed a baseball will most likely sign on the sweet spot. the sweet spot is the most desirable spot for an autograph for a single-signed baseball. The sweet spot is the section of a baseball typically reserved for the team manager on team signed baseballs or the top stars on the team. If a group of players are signing a baseball they might not sign the sweet spot in respect for the player or players that it is reserved for.

Are taste buds more sensitive to different flavors on different parts of the tongue?

No, taste buds are evenly distributed across the tongue and can detect the five primary tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami) equally. The myth that different tastes are detected on different areas of the tongue has been debunked. Taste perception is due to a combination of taste buds and how they interact with different taste molecules.
