I have an old Pirates batting helmet, which I was told by the seller once belonged to Lino Donoso. I was intrigued by his story, including the anecdote that the famous scout Howie Hack signed him to a contract in a Mexican brothel. While I am always wary of player attributions, that led me on a quest to find his autograph. I googled the topic, and learned from a Net54 thread that's his signature is one of the toughest from the past WWII era. I settled for a baseball signed by the Hollywod Stars.
