Andrew, the short answer is that there's no way to tell for sure (unless you ask Reggie) if it was common knowledge...however, here's a question, did Reggie always sign right after Billy or was it common knowledge to leave that spot open for Reggie? If everyone else knew, wouldn't the clubhouse guys? Either way, it doesn't mean that this for sure isn't a good sig, but I'd like to hear from some experts specific to that era Yankees sigs.
