I don't think that major league baseball players quit signing legibly because of volume. I think it has more to do with looking 'cool'.
David, please correct me or elaborate, but my understanding is that while Mantle's signature was always nice and legible, it changed a lot over the years as he tried to come up with something that had more flare to it. Perhaps 'cool' in Mantle's day still required readability, but it no longer does.
