Large Auto Lot Pickup

I recently picked up a large autograph baseball lot. All the balls are multi signed baseballs. I will post 2 at a time so I don't get confused. I am just pulling them out of the box randomly so they are in no real order. Here are the first 2.

Chicago White Sox 1992

Jose Oquendo

Second Cards picture is Rod Booker above Alex Cole.Booker played with the Cards from '87-'89

Bullpen Coach Dave Huppert below Michael Huff

Thanks for these 2. Hopefully, I can get these both figures tonight and post more.

Second to last Cardinals image is:
Todd Worrell
Terry Pendleton
Dan Quisenberry

Above Rod Booker appears to be a very rushed Jim Lindeman.

The Sox ball, panel with Ventura, top to bottom is:
Scott Radinsky
Ventura
Matt Merullo
Alex Fernandez
Jackie Brown

Below Michael Huff are two coaches:
Dave Huppert
Doug Mansolino

Whoever signed between Thigpen and Pall may have signed twice. It appears to me to be the same name? Possibly Shawn Abner.

That Sweet Spot autograph is Brad Komminsk..I believe he managed in the minors at one time so that ball might e a minor league club

Good call and come to find out he managed the Akron Aeros a team Martinez played for in 2002. I am looking at their roster now to try and figure out some of the others.

Rollie Fingers is between Ready and Jamie Cocanour(sp). Jim Slaton is below Augustine

Is Ted Simmons below Bob Gibson?

Tom Tellman might be the last picture

Since we are making good progress I thought I would do one more tonight. It only needs 1 ID

I believe that is correct. Thank you!

Pic below Komminsk is Cliff Lee.

Charlie Moore is below Jaime Cocanower. The one you thought was Moore is Chuck Porter.

Thank you for these!

Bottom one looks Stubby Overmire.

Ball 7

Under Rick Honeycutt = Bobby Castillo

On Terry Whitfield side, I believe the bottom two are Ken Howell and Ken Landreaux.

Tom C

That is correct. Just looked him up and he managed Durham in 1960.

Pirates Ball:

Above Belliard is Spanky Lavalliere.

Above Landrum is Bob Kipper.

Sweet spot is Jim Leyland.

Tom C

Pirates Ball:

Picture just above Leyland - autograph by itself looks like Orlando Merced.

Tom C

Pirates Ball:

Signature by itself to the left of ONL stamp is Rick Reed.

Tom C

Pirates Ball:

On Cushioned Cork stamp is Gene Lamont

Above Ted Power is Ray Miller.

That's all I got.

Tom C

Thank you for all the Pirates!

Last Pirates sig is Jose Lind.

Indians ball is Chris Bando.

Thanks Guys!

A few of the balls coming up are going to be tough as the sigs are very light. I'm having trouble taking pics of them.

I see Rico Carty and Duane Kuiper and could that be Boog Powell?

Dodger Ball: the one below Whitfield is Bill Russell

Tom Mccraw above Harvey Haddix on the Indians ball

Alan Ashby above Lowenstein Indians ball

Could that be Stan Javier below Ted Power?

Thank you again for the latest round of answers. I am at work now until 1am so I won't be posting anymore tonight. I will try to get a few more up tomorrow before work.

I think we determined Jose Lind was the one under Power.

That bold sig does kind of look like it could say Boog Powell. Just seems out of place on an Indians ball.

Why? He played for them in 75-76. He was the one who inspired the "big red ketchup bottle" line in his all-red uni.

Yes, Rico Carty above Jackie Brown.

My bad. I forgot he played other places besides Baltimore. We will go with the sig is Boog!

It's definitely Boog.

Oscar Gamble between Manning and Crosby and Don Hood under Jackie Brown.

Thank you for these!

The Cardinals ball has Ozzie Canseco on the SS, the next ball is Travis Fryman on the SS, and the Twins ball has Dave Winfield in marker.

Thanks for Fryman and Winfield. I knew that was Ozzie Canseco I forgot to write it down. I'm thinking Greg Gohr also on the ball with Fryman and Nevin. So this is obviously a mid 90's Tigers ball.

that is Fryman and Gohr

On the Cardinals/Mets ball I'm thinking Todd Zeile above Barry Lyons. Larry Maclin is the middle signature on the panel of 3?

Two not posted from the Indians ball (Ball 3) are Brian Tallet and Fernando Cabrera (above Denney)

Thank you! It seems some of the minor league balls are tough. I have an international league ball I'll post in the next few days. Montreal Expos balls will be the next batch.

Lonnie Maclin. Below him is Eddie Williams.

Twins ball has Carlos Pulido, Scott Leius and Jim Deshaies.

Second Expos ball looks like a stamped souvenir ball.

Tigers ball - the signature with John 3:16 is Scott Fletcher.

Signature under Kipper is, again, Jose Lind.

Damn Jose Lind gets me every time. Thanks for Fletcher. That's upsetting about the 83 ball. I have another Expos ball that I'll post tonight when I get out of work. Also, a 70's Pirates ball and 70's Orioles ball are coming up.

Jeff Huson under Walker, Andres Galarraga, Kevin Gross under Grissom, then ??, then Rex Hudler on the Expos ball.

Frank DiPino and Bob Walk are the last two on the first Pirates ball.

Twins: Fletcher lookalike is Greg Gagne. Wally Backman above Stelmaszek. Tim Laudner below Newman.

Orioles: Scott McGregor above Palmer.

Thanks for these. Could you do me a favor and quote the expos/ pirates ball and put Gross huson and Hudler in the spots they belong.

Are you sure that's Frank Dipino? I just did a quick search of his autograph and I am not sold that is him especially since he wasn't a Pirate that I remember anyway.

It'd be easier if you numbered the pics and/or didn't post the ones you don't have questions on. Edited my reply to place those Expos sigs.

Actually you're right, not DiPino, it's Dave LaPoint.

Thank you so much. I just post all of them even if I know so people can see the sigs and let me know if anything doesn't look good about them.

That's really a second question though. Maybe start a thread for authenticity questions seperate from the auto ID thread? I like to help people with these ID questions when I can because my Rainman power is to identify signatures of 1980's baseball scrubs. It's just easier for me to help when the images are presented more consicely. Speaking just for myself though, so take it as merely a suggestion.

FWIW, I don't think there's anything in these pics that would be highly forged items, and most everything (aside from the ball which may or may not have been rubber-stamped) looks legit, so it's probably safe to say the entire lot is good. The one Expos ball may just be the ink bleeding, since it's not an official ball, and that might be what is giving it the appearance of a stamped ball. Hard to tell on my phone sometimes when the signatures aren't very bold.

BTW, the guy you have identified as Chris Nabholz on "Ball 17 Montreal Expos Souvenir Baseball 91" is actually Junior Noboa.

I will change the name to Naboa. Your knowledge of 80's "jobbers" is pretty damn impressive. Maybe what I will do is start a new thread with the last couple balls and then just pics of any ball/panel where a signature has yet to be identified. As far as the possible stamped ball, I came across another one of these souvenir balls and the sigs are signed the same way but not all in the same spots so now that makes me question if they are both legit even more.

Hi,

The 1960 Durham ball has Don Wert (future Tigers' 3rd baseman), not Don Hart.

Hope that helps,

Jeff
