My recommendation is you scan the signatures and post them here. You can also email them to my above linked email. For a group signed ball, comparing the signatures to known real signatures will give a good idea of authenticity, including weeding out of obvious fakes.

There are genuine multi-team old timer signed balls, where the sigs were obtained at an old timer game, local charity function or such. In fact, I've seen Banks and Alou signatures on such balls. Since your signatures are hodge podge, it would be less likely there are secretarial signatures if it's genuine. Also, I can't recall ever seeing a secretarial Banks or Alou.

Sending it to PSA/DNA wouldn't be cost effective, as your ball, if genuine, wouldn't be worth enough. However, if genuine it's worth a few bucks.
