There is a gal that emailed me awhile ago with a bat she has.Here is a list of signatures on it,with my corrections in parentheses.Any ideas of where it may have been signed?

My mistake the date is March 28, 1941. Names on the bat that are legible are,
Babe Ruth
Dizzy Dean
Al Todd
Harvey Storey
Dick Spalding
Stanley Hank (Hack)
Billy Herman
Paul Erickson
Bruce Page?
Eddie Wartkus? (Waitkus)
Lou Stringer
LennieM? (Merullo)
? Hendricksen
Herb Ch?
Clyde Mc?
Les Heringzer?
Rabbit or Robert Nar?
? Dallerrando? (Dom Dallesandro)
And a few more any with a ? I cannot read the writing very well or make the recognition
cause I don't know the players of the era. Let me know if the names make any sense to you.
Thank you,
Cheryl

My guess was that these signatures were obtained in Catalina Island,CA during the Cubs spring training?I know Billy Herman
was traded in May of '41 to the Braves.

"Rabbit or Robert Nar?" might be Rabbit Maranville

Clyde Mc is probably catcher Clyde McCullough.

Here is a link from baseball reference that might help?
