Below Mlicki is Rich Becker.
Agree on Baerga (positive that's him) and Hundley (like 90% sure?), though he is the bottom signature in Pic 7.
The signature above Acevedo is Ryan Thompson.
1998 was the only year Becker was with the Mets, and he was there only through about mid-June of that year. Acevedo was with St. Louis by '98, and Thompson was in Japan. It's possible the ball was added to over the course of a couple years, which would explain the different pen types and different levels of toning from signature to signature.
