Who Are These Guys?

[thecatspajamas]

Any ideas as to who these are? Accumulated from several mixed lots. May even be minor league for all I know. Dadblamed modern signers... :mad:

[Edited to add positive ID's as they are suggested]

1. Corey Smith (minor leaguer)

Players that get paid to sign there name you can't read.:eek:

[packs]

I think #2 is Joel Zumaya.

[tazdmb]

#2 is certainly Joel Zumaya

[theshleps]

5th is japanese if that helps

[jgmp123]

I believe #4 is Corey Patterson...

[Scott Garner]

Hi Lance,
I concur on the Joel Zumaya ball.

Also, the third ball from the bottom is pitcher/closer Robb Nenn (SF Giants).
Please see a photo of another example of his sig on a ball.

Good luck with some of these others. They're Greek to me. :rolleyes:

How bad is that, when I can't tell if the signer scribbled on the ball or is actually signing in another language? (Or perhaps even scribbling in another language...?)

Not real confident but #7 resembles Matt Cain.

[thecatspajamas]

Not real confident but #7 resembles Matt Cain.

Pretty sure you're right. And looks like there is an illegible inscription on this one as well...?

[thecatspajamas]

I think #3 may be Brian Wilson, but only if he signed B____ and then wrote Giant #33, which would mean that he spent more time/effort on the inscription than his own name. :eek:

[bat_master]

#6 is Einar Diaz.
#10 is Adam Piatt.

[thecatspajamas]

Thanks for all the help guys! By my count, that's at least 6 out of 10 ID'd, which is much better than I had a couple days ago. Much appreciated!

#1 looks like it may be Corey Smith, a former first rounder for the Indians who never got above AA.

Good spot. Here he is on a baseball, complete with matching uniform number. Pretty sure you're right!
