Trying to figure out couple signatures on a ball.

[dapro]

This ball is supposedly signed by both 1960's Pirates and Yankees team. Trying to figure out the couple of signatures on this side of the panel. This is the East Panel.



This is what I got so far I think.

1. Roger Maris (Yankees)
2. Roberto Clemente (Pirates)
3. Valmy Thomas (Phillies)
4. "Best Wishes", probably from Frank Thomas since same pen color.
5. Frank Thomas (Pirates)
6. Dick Groat (Pirates)
7. Dick Schofield (Pirates)
8. Gene Conley (Phillies)
9. Whitey Ford (Yankees)

Thanks

#4 is Best Wishes, who played center field for the...ummm...

And #8 looks like Gene Conley, though that doesn't fit the Pirates/Yankees scenario.

And #3 is Valmy Thomas

Both Thomas and Conley were on the 1959 Phillies, but I'm not sure how that fits in with the other sigs.

I think you are right again. Maybe not all the signatures are from pirates and yankess only. Frank Thomas played for the Pirates until 1958 and he is on the ball.
I guess this ball got couple phillies on there too!

That was quick, thanks for the help guys! I got couple panels to play with now.
