Recognize Auto on Mets/Colts Program?
 

I just bought this Colt .45 program on eBay. Any one recognize the signature in the top left??
The bottom right is Don Heffner. Coach for Mets, 1964.
Thanks for the help.

Better zoom.

My old friend Mel Harder.

Very under rated pitcher and a great TTM signer. Definitely Harder.

Awesome! Thank you very much! Fun to read about someone I wasn't familiar with.

Adding photo.

Al Spangler?
 

Hi all. I got the program yesterday. Also inside on the autograph page was this auto. Perhaps a rushed Al Spangler? It looks close, but it also looks different. Thoughts? Thanks!

Al Jackson

Very nice. I would have not figured that out. Thanks so much!

Yes, one of my favorites - Al Jackson. I met him about 10 years ago at the Mets' spring training facility in FL. He lived nearby and pitched batting practice in spring training until he was past 80 years old.

I mentioned to Al that I was a Mets fan in the early-mid-1960s, and that he was the starting pitcher in the first Major League game I ever saw. He asked me where and when, and I said "1964 in Cincinnati, Crosley Field." To which he replied, "Crosley Field? Damn, you're getting old, they've had two more ballparks since then!"
