I stopped in a collectible store to take a quick look at the signed baseballs and discovered that the pricing makes no sense. Derek Jeter — $500; David Wright — $280; Jimmy Rollins $250. Steve Carlton, however, maybe the greatest lefty pitcher in the game's history — $99; Whitey Ford — $50; Goose Gossage — $70. Maybe I'm getting old, but I'd think actual Hall-of-Famers would fetch more than today's stars.
