I hope the bidding doesn't get out of control on this one: Hunt auctions - Williams ball (http://www.huntauctions.com/phone/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=95&lot_num=818)

That's the worst Babe Ruth yet.

lol - I'm guessing the vintage autograph collectors would prefer to roll this one under the carpet.

Maybe he had a few pops before he took pen in hand. :)
One the other hand, is this a post stroke signature? Says it is on a 1999 All Star Game ball.
Is that the game where they brought him out on the field on the golf cart?

I like that "very authentic", as opposed to "sort of authentic" or just plain old English "authentic".
If it's "very authentic", then it's worth a fortune, because it doesn't look like any other Williams autograph I've ever seen, but then again, those might have all been fakes.

David, you're using a 'Straw Man'. I'll let you talk with your creation.
Happy New Year.
