Default Bugsy Raymond signed balls? Glory of their Times

I was listening to Fred Snodgrass in The Glory of Their Times. When he was talking about Bugsy Raymond, he said that after Bugsy was suspended for the Giants, he used to sign baseballs at the local bar, and never had to buy a drink accordingly.

Like a lot of oral history, there may be more fiction than fact in this. However, I thought I would ask the autograph people if Bugsy Raymond autographed balls have shown up in the collecting world more often than expected, perhaps giving some credence to Fred Snodgrass's story.
