I think I see Ryan Zimmerman on pic 4. Maybe a nationals ball?

From my experience, that looks like a minor league team signed ball. I realize it's a OMLB ball (which you can buy at Target) but the way everyone signed their number and there is no sig that stands out leads me to believe it could me minors.

I hope I'm wrong and that it's a 1927 Yankees ball. ;)

While Zimmerman is #11, that's not how he normally signs. His R is usually two strokes and the Z is more of a 2 shape without a loop. But could this be a Univ of Virginia ball? He also wore #11 there...

I think I've got it. It's a U of V ball from around 2004-2005. #2 is Kyle Werman, #6 is Tim Henry. Check the autos numbered on the ball, those sigs are a dead match for those names. So I think you DO have a Ryan Zimmerman, just a really early one.

Good call Mark, he has obviously changed his sig since college.

Glad we could help, Isaac. Guess this is your karma coming back around for selling me that Ron Oester ball. If only it hadn't had those common sigs on it like Bench and Rose... ;)
