What gets me the most is that many of these players expect fans to return balls to them without any money trading hands. I'll "give them a signature" etc. I think they should bid in an auction just like the rest of us. It wouldn't even make a dent in their wallet.

I'm not sure they expect the return as much as they hope for it. If someone decides to trade in a $500k ball or whatever the value for some signed items, a meet and great, and perhaps some tickets that's up to them. I probably wouldn't. But it's understandable how a fan could get caught up in the excitement, get to meet their hero, and get a bunch of cool stuff just for handing over a baseball would make that decision.
