Baseball Signatures Deciphered -- Partially
Thanks to thecatspajamas for offering to help me post the photos -- I have sent them to him in hopes of success. In the mean time, I did decipher a few of the other signatures (in addition to Wagner, Kiner, and Greenberg):
Rip Sewell
Fritz Ostermueller
Eddie Basinski
Bill Salkeld
Wally Westlake
Clyde Kluttz (love that name!)
Billy Herman
Nick Strincevich
Jim Russell
Elbie Fletcher
John Lanning
Roy Jarvis
Chet Smith (sports writer/editor in Pittsburgh)
There are a few more I have yet to figure out. Most of these played for the Pirates in the mid- to late-1940s. That makes sense given the "1949" date hand-written on the ball. Thanks again.
