Default Chicken scratches
I haven't obtained an in person auto in a couple of years but was watching the Jays play the Yanks at a Spring training game last week while on vacation in Florida and obtained these without any effort. Only one is partially legible and is from a former Jay turned broadcaster. The other two are very popular current Jays players - can anyone pick any of them out?

Buck Martinez is fairly obvious.

And some people, like myself, just have bad handwriting. Despite the best efforts of my teachers I never got much more than a D- in elementary school in penmanship.

You could probably do a pretty good analysis of team-signed balls over the years, and determine when the decline started - it was probably one or two super-stars who inadvertently gave the green light.

One of my favorite all-time autographs is a 1993 autograph I have of Derek Jeter. It's actually very easy to read and beautiful and it's really cool to compare against his current signature to see how it evolved.

That's one of the giant oversize gloves isn't it? I've got one of the Rangers team a couple seasons ago.

Correct Mike. I have had it for 5 years but never thought to have it autographed until this year at Spring training. The third "sig" is Kawasaki btw.
