That's a Hank Aaron secretarial sig.

Yup, the straight lines in the "H", as I've been told, are a giveaway to his secretarial sigs. I had no idea Hank was using a ghost-signer that far back. In fact, that looks identical to the secretarial TTM I got from Aaron in the late 80s. Did he employ the same person to sign his mail for all those years?

Here is an IN-PERSON Aaron I watched him sign , hope this helps

Really? Dang! My kid-like mental image has always been of him sitting in front of his locker with a bag of fan mail.
Will post my Banks and Kaline in another thread.

Here's my in person ball for comparison (from the early 90's).
