Only 15 players made the roster and you seem to have all but 2 identified.

One of the signatures seems to read Johnny Kerr (panel 4 after Clint Brown). If it is Kerr, then things get interesting. The All-Stars stopped over in Hawaii and played a game in the islands.

So, the signatures could be from members of the Hawaii All-Stars or as you stated, wives and other dignitaries.

Good luck.

I think you may have nailed it with Kerr. I thought that was the name there but couldn't understand how it would be on the ball since he wasn't in Japan, but the trip back through Hawaii would make sense. Might provide direction to help find some of the other names as well. Thanks!

Agreed, though that is what it seems to spell...
