Hoping to elicit some help on a few of these signatures I have been unable to identify on this ball. I have identified almost all, of which I will list below in order of the photos, with some marked as unknown (or what I think the name looks like). Those are the ones I need help with. The time frame on the ball is around 1956 - 1957. They were not all obtained at the same time but over a period at different events/games, however I believe they will all be American League players. You can tell some of the players used the same pen but overall several different colors were used, however that may be a key to helping determine the few I am struggling with. Here is the list of names and the unknowns:
Willie Miranda
Mickey Mantle
UNKNOWN (looks like Jim Velne?)
Joe Vosmik
Ted Williams
Marty Keough
UNKNOWN (first name starts with J last name with M)
Ron Moeller
Hal Wagner
UNKNOWN (looks like Bob Ferrina)
Joe Vosmik (twice)
Frank Baumann
Jimmie Foxx
Bill Skowron
Jack Burns
Casey Stengel
Johnny Pesky
Ted Lepcio
UNKNOWN (looks like Jim Eumer?)
Tony Kubek
UNKNOWN (looks like Pete Runar?)
Sam White
George Kell
Bobby Doerr
Tom Oliver
Earl Johnson
Yogi Berra
Haywood Sullivan
Dick Gernert
Frank Malzone
I really appreciate the help anyone can provide on the unknown names. Its a great looking ball but it always gets at me if I can't ID every name.
