276.0. "Autographed Ball" by AUNTB::PARKERJ () Thu May 23 1991 02:56

    I have recently come into possesion of an autographed baseball.  I need
    some help to learn more about it.  I have listed the names of the
    players who signed it.  I would like to know what team, when signed,
    and a geuss at value.  This ball is not in excellent shape.  
    
    Names:
    
    Mel Ott
    Ernie Lombardi
    Nap Reyes
    Ray Berres ?(cant read well)
    Buddy Korn ?   "
    Joe Medwick
    Gus Mancuso
    Mickey Wit*ie ?
    Johnny Allen
    Carl Hubbel ? (very faint)
    John Rucker
    Bill Jurges
    Rube Fischer?
     
    There are other signatures but I cant read them well enough to be
    meaningful.  There 22 in all.
    Any help would be appreciated.

	Might be the New York Giants. Don't know what year exactly but I would guess between 1920-1940.(Nothing like hedging your bets). Paul

276.6	Signed game ball	CXCAD::WILLIAMS	Set the mind free	`Thu May 28 1992 14:16`	31
	This seems like the place for this note. I, too, have run across a signed ball that my father had. It is a game ball, but in very good condition. It was signed by players of the McCook Braves, which were the farm team of the Milwaukee Braves. The ball is dated 1957. The players are: Merritt Ranew Bernie Poripore Tippy(?) Johnson Jerry Nausen John Wilard(?) Ken Raesler Paul Schulze Ty Clayton Ed Kugyosla Pete Fisher Al Gilioni Orie Wolf Rog Larrar Johnny Wilcox Paul Poog(?) Bill Steincke Pinky(?) Carlson Can anyone help me with this...on identifying the players if they made it big or if this ball is worth anything at all? Not being a baseball fan, any help is very much appreciated. Thanks. John
