Help with several signatures on a baseball
 
7 Attachment(s)
Hello again ... I just got this ball in the mail and having difficulty figuring out all the autographs.Hopefully someone will recognize the names I couldn't figure out.
I know for sure there's Hank Aaron,Johnny Bench and Sparky Anderson.I think there's Robin Roberts and Bob Clemente,in the first photo,bottom 2 signatures but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance for your help ... Ed (edtiques)

The autograph in the center of the last picture is Bill Buckner.

4th picture, top signature I believe is Ray Burris.

Thanks,I think you're right on both names.I may have figured out the top autograph in the fith picture.It looks like Manny Trillo.

Looks like maybe a mostly late 1970s Cubs ball but there are some interlopers:

First Panel
can't see the blue one on top
Randy Hundley
Bob Owchinko (sorry, not Clemente)
?? (may be Carmen Fanzone)
Steve Swisher


Next Picture

Johnny Bench
Dave Kingman (not really sure, it's so faint could also be Ken Frailing)
Dave Roberts
Harry Spilman


Next Panel

Ray Burris in black, looks like Jim Marshall may have been in blue to the left, overwritten

Next Panel

Manny Trillo is correct
Not sure of this one
Larry Biittner
??

Next Panel

?? (Aaron? I don't think so, but could be wrong)
Mick Kelleher
??
Bill Bonham

To the OP: Are you seeing Bob Clemente, as in Roberto Clemente?? I hope it wasn't sold to you as such, I'm not seeing it.

Hank aaron
 
Top of ohoto 6

Top photo "resembles" Clemente, but it's not

Top of photo 6 looks like Aaron, but it's hard to tell

Mike Easler under Hank Aaron ?

Under Kelleher, looks like Steve Ontiveros

The signature between Trillo and Biitner is former Yankee Dave Whermeister. I believe the one after Biitner might possibly be Gary Sutherland? Hard to tell from that view as I can't see the whole signature.

As moosedog said, that is definitely Mick Kelleher 2nd from top on the next to last ball. I think that first signature might be Neil Allen. I don't think it is Hank Aaron. And the one under Kelleher is Bill Almon.

I think the one two sigs down from Bench might be former Phillie Dave Roberts. oops. Just saw moosedog already named that one. I concur with him on that being Dave Roberts.

I concur with Chris on Almon, Wehrmeister and Gary Sutherland. I knew the "shapes" but couldn't place the signatures with names. Checked my files and all three check out.

Sure sign of getting old...

Thank you all for your help,it's greatly appreciated.I found it a little difficult to get good photos because the ball isn't in the best condition.You guys still figured them out though.Well done and thanks again.
This is the signature that I thought might have been Clemente's.

Clemente would never sign his name "Bob".

I'm 99.9% sure that's Bob Owchinko...big difference.

edtiques 02-08-2014 02:25 PM

I agree with it not being Clemente.It looks more like Owchinko's signature. He has signed as Bob Clemente,but not too often.Here's an example on eBay though
