26 Signature Autographed Baseball
 

Hello,

I am new to net54baseball.com, so thank you in advance for your help, and if there is a more appropriate Forum/Thread, please let me know.

I have this autographed baseball with 26 signatures. I have identified 8 of them, and have posted those below. The signatures are from vintage and recent players, and two umpires.

Can anyone help identifying more signatures? It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, and have fun!

Adding to the list: Next to last photo, bottom sig is Tim Foley.

Fourth and fifth photos below Andy Robertson and Clay Christiansen you have Dave Winfield, Butch Wynegar, Jeff Torborg, Jerry McNertney and O'Berry.

I believe the signature above Phil Niekro, is Shane Rawley. The one below Dave Righetti (who is below Niekro), is Bob Shirley.

The one below Jose Rijo and above Don Mattingly, is Oscar Gamble.

Also, the ball is a 1984 Yankees team signed ball, as Curt Brown played in 13 games for the Yankees in 1984; that was his only year with them. Every one else on the ball either played or was a coach with the 1984 Yankees.

Thank you to Michael B for the correction on Fontenot.

Thanks!!
 

Thank you all so much for identifying these! Your quick and accurate responses are much appreciated!

A small correction on Steve's list. Ray Fontenot was a pitcher for that team, not a coach. I recall getting him in person that year and remember seeing him on cards.

Last signature - Omar Moreno
 

I think I identified the last unidentified signature; in between Willie Randolph and Shane Rawley... looks like Omar Moreno
