Default Clemente Auto

Thanks for the compliment, and yes he did only sign his last name. Although I`ve seen a few 1954 minor league team auto`ed balls with Roberto`s full name, the story went he was a rather shy signer in person and thus flats this early are pretty hard to find. Not sure if it was the culture/language barrier but in the mid 50`s it wouldn`t surprise me at all. Hang tough, Murph
