That's 'cause it's signed "J. DiMaggio," as he did in 1937. (When this ball was most likely signed.)

David, the dot is on top of the name, not at the bottom, and also it is an extended first name signature, not just an abbreviated J...I still think the sig is not right.....Also, the Gehrig is very questionable IMO

Well, we disagree.

[David Atkatz]

Does it still look questionable?

The DiMaggio is the one I'm mainly referring to..

It's not a dot in Dimaggios name. It's part of the "i" in D"i"maggio which he dropped later on to sign just Dmaggio

I'm talking about the dot over his first name....
