Hey guys,

I've owned this baseball for about 10 years. It was given to me by my aunt. My uncle (deceased) did work for a cleanup crew in Cinci that was responsible for game cleanup for a number of years. She told me he got the ball signed then. My uncle was also a drunk and a liar however.

At any rate, I just found this ball again. The players on the ball would place it about 1957. Some sigs are Smoky Burgess, Wally Post, Ted Kluszewski, Alex Grammas, Gus Bell, George Crowe and others...

I can't convince myself it is real because I have NO experience with autographed balls and am very aware that teams sold stamped souvenir balls by the hundreds.

Just looking for some opinions (and it's not going to hurt my feelings if it is as phony-baloney as my uncle!).
