Fascination with catching HR baseballs, autographs too

What's the fascination with catching a home run baseball at a regular baseball game? Saw a clip where a guy caught one, pulled a "fake" out and tossed that one back. Really??
Autographs too. Who gives a shite?
I can see maybe kids getting excited, but grown men? I thought the big thing was the rarity of the things. But nowadays there's tons of baseballs being caught at games and star players give out tons of autographs regularly.

I have quite a balls that I ran down at lsu games. Mostly foul balls but still one of the few things I still have growing up

First off catching a HR ball is awesome. Chances it came to you
not bumbling the catch? Pretty big deal.

I'm not going to die until I catch a ball. Couldn't care less about some scribble on it though.

That old man made a hell of a catch. I would have kept it too.
That being said my son gets at least 1 ball at every Zephyrs game we go to. The most he has ever gotten was 5. All of those go into the practice bucket.

As a chair you probably catch alot of home run balls at Rays games. I can see how youre probably burnt out on it.

Congrats on watching your first Cubs game.

I think catching a home run ball at a MLB game is pretty awesome I hope I do it some day, I would have to start sitting in the outfied tho

No idea what this means. But I've never seen a Cubs game.

People Who switch out the ball before throwing it back are scumbags.

Who cares?
Baseball is supposed to be a kids game, but what about when the kids grow up?
My old man is 65 and still goes to games with me on summer trips. He's never caught a ball, and I'm sure he'd love to snag one.
As for autographs...? To each his own. I got Mike Trout's autograph a few years back when he was in Double-A. He was a nice guy and didn't mind soaring a few minutes to talk to fans. It's nice to see some of those guys have a personality.
So like I said...just bc it's not a huge deal to you doesn't mean it can't be for others.

Def less of a douche than you have to be to actually do it.
