Thanks for posting. I have never seen a Del Webb signature on a ball. He reminds me of those early ball players and even Negro leaguers who could write in cursive on flat items but had to print their name when signing a ball ( which has led to controversy concerning some players autographs...but that is for another thread and time). That was very common then, but I never would have thought a wealthy and educated man like Webb in the 1950s would have to print his name to sign a ball.
