They sure did, I have a Rollie Fingers and Orlando Cepeda signed ball that had a sticker put on right in front of me after the player signed it

I have couple of balls with MLB hologram and it seems legit to me.

Agreed, I was at the same signing.
I was able to ask for the hologram to be placed away from the sig, and for my Fingers ball
declined to even have it placed on.

I'll second that verification. At this year's All-Star Fanfest, a MLB authenticator was sitting next to the players at the signing table, and you could have your item authenticated for free. I presume you could ask the authenticator to place the hologram sticker in a specific location.

Here's a photo I took at the Fanfest showing Mets star Howard Johnson signing a baseball for a fan, while a MLB authenticator applies an official MLB Authentication Hologram sticker to another ball Johnson just signed and a second individual enters the information into a computer.
