In 1991 I received a nice gift from a family friend (longtime scout Tim Thompson), an autographed baseball that he had sent around the Dodgers one day during Spring Training of that year. The ball has 19 signatures, and I've been able to identify 15 of them as being active players/coaches/advisors on the 91 team. However, the final 4 I am stumped on. Three of the remaining 4 names are somewhat legible, but I can't tie them back to anyone who was a major league or minor league player from the organization in 91. Is there a resource I can use online which has coaches from A/AA/AAA etc.? The big club has a ton of resources, but digging up coaching info on the 1991 Bakersfield Dodgers A+ club is hard to find. One of the signers is legendary USC coach Rod Dedeaux who must've been visiting buddy Tom Lasorda on this day and just signed the ball. Perhaps these 4 sigs are just clubhouse kids or visitors but I'm generally interested in exhausting all possible leads first. Any suggestions? Thanks.
