I agree with Jodi on the Sam Leever. I have also always liked Sammy Bohn's flowing signature as well.
Surprised nobody has mentioned Tris Speaker. He is my favorite Hall of Famer! Rhys Last edited by prewarsports; 02-09-2010 at 05:15 PM.

My .02 worth...
As usual, the Bambino is in a league all his own, even when it comes to penmanship.
Roger Maris had a flawless signature as well. marisauto.jpg Rounding out my top five would be Gehrig, Matty, and Mantle. Last edited by thekingofclout; 02-09-2010 at 06:41 PM.

If anyone can post a Gene Lillard or Sam Leever example, that would be great. Would love to see them both...
Jimmy... I agree with you about the Babe... such a classic. Perhaps the only baseball autograph that even a non-fan/collector can easily visualize in his/her mind.

Gene Lillard . . .
.
. . . was one of the first ballplayer signatures I thought of. Here's a vintage example. Still looking for one of my Leever examples.

Lillard's playing career signature is no where near as nice as his post-playing career sig. When I first responded to this post's heading, it only took me about half a second to come up with my response. Here is a post-playing career Lillard signature. Even though he passed away in 1991, his signature (like this) is not too common.
I always wondered how his post-career signature could differ so much from his playing era sig, and it turns out calligraphy was his hobby!
