Yankees Help please
Picked up this ball today at the flea market for $1. I can clearly see Mike Lowell but the rest I have no idea. I am thinking this is a ‘98 or ‘97 Columbus Clippers ball but I still can’t figure out the other signatures. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

have you tried looking at their rosters off Baseball Reference?

I have, that’s why I think it’s 1997 or 1998 Clippers or something in between. Funny but most other autographs aside from Mike Lowell aren’t very easy to read.

Below Lowell is Chris Cumberland and Brian Buchanan. The only team Lowell and Cumberland had in common was the 1997 Norwich Navigators, the Yankees Eastern League AA affiliate. That team also had Dan Donato who I believe is also on this ball, at the top of the second picture. The manager was Trey Hillman though and that definitely isn't his signature on the sweet spot. I don't see anyone named "Bill" on the Norwich roster that would be sweet-spot worthy. Also the remaining signatures don't really synch up with that roster. Is it possible this was obtained over multiple years, or maybe even a spring training ball? Or could it be that whoever got this ball signed got players from both Norwich and whoever they were playing that day?
