I'm not a father, but I can imagine a situation where the parent wants to do something so that their kids have a nest egg or whatever after their death.
Some people buy life insurance, some people sign baseballs.
Maybe there's been some news story about the Musial kids or the Mays kids being greedy...I don't know.
I do know that Bobby Doerr still signs and he's the oldest HOFer out there...and he does it for free. Maybe it reminds him of the "good ol' days".
Too hard to know to pass too much judgement.
