Signature Thoughts
 

Good evening. Any thoughts on these three? I am pretty comfortable that the bottom one is Mike Greenwell. I am not sure on the other two though. Thanks in advance.

Maybe Carney Lansford or Dennis Lamp on top, need a better look.

Great call out! It is Dennis Lamp on top. Thanks.

Yes that's Lamp at the top, and Curt Young in the middle.

I'm thinking that the bottom signature is actually Jay Howell.

Here's why:

1. It doesn't seem to really match Mike Greenwell's signature, especially at the end.

2. Dennis Lamp and Curt Young were teammates for only one year.....1987 A's.

3. Mike Greenwell played only for the Red Sox.

4. Jay Howell played for the A's in 1987.

5. Lamp, Howell and Young were all pitchers with the 1987 A's, so it would make sense for them to have signed a ball together.

6. Looking at Jay Howell signatures on ebay, the one on this ball seems to match up with alot of them.

Thanks all for the information. I appreciate the assistance.

It actually looks like Greenwell. It isn't uncommon to find balls like this with players from multiple teams. Kids often run from one side of the park to the other when they see a player signing. I can't see the whole signature but I'm leaning Greenwell.
