Players, alumni, and broadcasters usually sign autographs at these events. According to the Cardinals:

"The Cardinals will be implementing a new Autograph Ticket system at each stop. The first 400 kids (15 and under) through the door on the day of the event will receive a free Autograph Ticket which guarantees one autograph from each current and former player. Autographs will only be available for kids 15 and under."

There will also be prize drawings, and more. Check the Cardinals website for more information.
