I was really lucky to get a good Nationals team ball started this year. I got so many great player and was really missing a few but really needed Matt Williams (manager) on the sweet spot. I got lucky and finally found Williams! He was leaving the practice field and didn't look like he was going to sign since there was alot of us. I was the first person to get his autograph. Unfortunately, When he was about to sign my ball he was talking to a trainer and lost focus and signed the side panel of my team ball. Normally I wouldn't really care but, I already have everyone else and now I have this big blank sweet spot. I need help on how to finish.

Here's who is on the ball:
Stephen Strasburg
Bryce Harper
Ryan Zimmerman
Jordan Zimmermann
Livan Hernandez (pitching coach)
Tyler Clippard
Adam LaRoche
Ian Desmond
Drew Storen
Danny Espinosa
Denard Span
Wilson Ramos
Matt Williams

Need:
Gio Gonzalez,
Jayson Werth
Rafael Soriano

Should I :
1. Get Williams again to sign the sweet spot
2. Get Gio Gonzalez,Jayson Werth,Rafael Soriano on the sweet spot
3. Mike Rizzo GM
4. Paint the sweet spot with the Nationals logo with 2014. Don't worry it would be done nicely and professionally.

IF I were to get it painted, I did a quick mockup of how I would like it to look..

I'd take the traditionalist approach and vote for option 1.

If the ball is for your personal collection, I like the unconventional approach and go for #4, the logo.

Nice ball, but some of those signatures. What happened to a nice legible signature, like many old timers?

If u believe this year could be the year, I'd maybe wait and see who wings up the team's mvp, and get them on the sweet spot. Aside from that, I'd go with the logo.

I'd go with the logo. It looks cool and I think it adds a nice unique touch that makes it your team signed baseball, and not another team signed baseball.

I like the logo idea and you could add the team record after the season as well.

As for the logo, it would be the only thing on the ball you could actually read. Go for it!

Gone the way of the dinosaurs:(
No pride anymore.
Some of these make Joe Jackson's Sig look like a work of art.

Agreed. I am always surprised how illegibly doctors and lawyers sign their names. My wife's med school used to dock them points if they signed illegibly.

Thanks everyone for all the feedback! The baseball will be painted and will be signed by more players once it's done. :)
