Autograph ID help

I need help identifying an autograph on this 1950's Harwood ball. I can identify Ernie Banks (Cubs), Bill Bruton (Braves), and Milwaukee radio announcer, Earl Gillespie under the NO. ON stamp but who's under Gillespie? Guessing it's 1953 (or a little later) the year they all broke into the majors. Thanks!

Doesn't fit the era but looks a lot like Gorman Thomas. At least there's a Milwaukee connection.

Gorman was my first thought as well.

I don't think the ball was actually signed in the 50's. Banks signature around that time looked much different. That looks like a more modern Banks. I think it may be Gorman Thomas as well.

Interesting stuff. Would never have figured out Gorman Thomas from that signature. Thanks, everyone.
