If that was a grapefruit it could be Richard Widmark. 10 points for those that get that reference...100 if you're under 40.

Torii Hunter was probably the last decent autograph guy

Hunter gives credit to Harmon Killebrew for his autograph being decent

I Love Lucy...

Widmark signed it for Lucy in one of the "California" episodes, and it later shriveled up! When she read the name, she pronounced it funny, because of the scrunched up letter formation. Great reference!

Yep, 10 points for you. To finish the reference, she also got an Orange signed by Robert Taylor (it also shriveled up) and let's not forget her stealing John Wayne's sig and hand prints from Grauman's Theater. Ah, back in the day when TV was simple and often silly.

I officially excuse William Vanlandingham if he shortened his signature...
