I think Butch nailed it.
The inscription was clearly traced over, but I think they messed up. Under the 2 in 29th there looks to me to be a pretty clear vertical line for a 1, which would make this his 19th hr and make the date correct for being his first hr of the day (6-22-27). I can also see a fan thinking it would be fun to get this ball signed the next year. Very cool piece.
