Yes he did but as Jason pointed out , pretty darn rare ! To the best of my knowledge he stopped signing that way by the time he reached the major leagues. he didn't like the way people pronounced it like MARE-ASS , so he opted for the variation.
Pete Whisenant a former ball player who knew him told me that their nickname for him behind his back was "Red Ass", because of his attitude when he wasn't playing well
