I understand when a semi-star or someone who makes the bigs for a cup of coffee sells off their most prized awards or championship rings but why do some stars do it. Do the awards and other items that are not WS rings not mean that much to them? I also realize when a legend dies the family realizes the value of certain items and lets them go but when I see someone who should be financially secure let their items be auctioned I wonder why. I realize Jose Canseco sold everything of his down to his rings probably because he needed the cash. Hey don't get me wrong if an athlete does not want it I am glad that a fan will have it and treasure it.
