2 signed baseballs - Help with identifying signatures
I have acquired a collection of various items. Among the collection are several signed baseballs. There are 2 signatures that I can't identify.
The first one has Hank Aaron on the sweet spot. There is another signature below. Not sure who it is. The second one has Tony Gwynn (edited to change this signature to Juan Guzman) , Reggie Jackson, and Sparky Anderson. The fourth signature is the one I can't identify. One guy told me that he thought it was Carl Yastrzemski, but I don't think it is. It doesn't look like any other Yaz signature I've seen, but it is close enough that I guess it is possible. Another question regarding the second ball. Is it possible that this is a game used ball (or at least batting practice used)? Is that a bat mark below the Reggie Jackson signature? Here are the pictures. Here are the other signatures on the second ball along with the black mark. Is it a "bat" mark? Last edited by frankhardy; 11-29-2014 at 12:48 PM. |

The signature on the panel below the Aaron, appears to me to be former Rangers pitcher and cool guy to us autograph collectors, Roger Pavlik.

Agree that it is Roger Pavlik on the Aaron ball.
The second ball it is not Yaz, but am still looking for who it is. |

I have been working on the assumption that the common thread for this ball is the 1984 All Star game. The reason is that the only link between Reggie and Gwynn , and the sig of Gwynn appears to be early based upon the character formation, is the 1984 AllStar game. I am probably wrong in that assumption because in looking at the rosters for the 1984 All Star game I can find no player whose name appears to match the unknown sig unless it could be a coach as I assume Sparky was but I can' t verify the coaches for that game. But I will keep looking ...I am now curious as well.

The "Gwynn" signature is not Gwynn. It is Juan Guzman. I edited the original post.

Could the second photo be a sloppy Garry Maddox?
