|  Picked up this ball at a thrift shop. Can anyone help identify the signature? 
			
			Could use help, I have no clue to who it is, if anyone.

			Someone trying duplicate Willie's modern signature.  It changed quite a bit from his early years.  It went from being very legible into what it is today.  I vote "not authentic".

			It’s rushed and sloppy. But I’m certain it’s good.
