I have a baseball that my grandfather (I want to say in the 60s) got autographed when he visited Cooperstown. And not all of the autos I recognize or know for certain.
Can you guys ID or confirm my guesses here? I am presuming that this ball was actually purchased at the Hall of Fame ![]() Tommy Richardson Lloyd Waner ![]() Red Ruffing Zach Wheat Sam Rice ![]() Goose Goslin "Mrs. Babe Ruth" Frank Frisch ![]() Bill Eckert Brooks Robinson ![]() Here's the other side showing it was made in Haiti.

Between Ruffing and Rice is Zack Wheat.

I believe the first is Tommy Richardson, former President of the Eastern League, and the second is Zack Wheat. I have no knowledge of authenticity and think you are correct on the others you name.

Yes, and it's Frank Frisch (not Fritsch)

I also have no knowledge of authenticity but it may have been signed in 1967 when the Orioles played the Reds in the Hall of Fame Game. I was wondering how Brooks Robinson, a current player ended up on that ball of retired players.

Updated the first post with names.
The Tommy Richardson looks close to the auto in this thread: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=191230 |
