I'm pretty certain it's from Spring Training 1942 in the Florida facilities around that Tampa/Clearwater area. It is likely from one of STL, CHC, CIN, PIT, PHI, NYG, BSN because that is where every other signature is from. However, this signature is on a random page in the book, so I can't guess a team by the signatures around it.
It looks like the Yankees could have been still using Waterfront Park, in St. Petersburg, at the time, though. That would place him right there.
Why he'd get 1 random AL autograph, and it's from the Yankees, and it's a... Priddy. But that's irrelevant.
