Ted Williams autographed ball
 
I hope the bidding doesn't get out of control on this one: Hunt auctions - Williams ball

lol - I'm guessing the vintage autograph collectors would prefer to roll this one under the carpet.

Maybe he had a few pops before he took pen in hand. :)
One the other hand, is this a post stroke signature? Says it is on a 1999 All Star Game ball.
Is that the game where they brought him out on the field on the golf cart?

The ball has a very authentic Ted Williams autograph.

I like that "very authentic", as opposed to "sort of authentic" or just plain old English "authentic".

If it's "very authentic", then it's worth a fortune, because it doesn't look like any other Williams autograph I've ever seen, but then again, those might have all been fakes.

Well, Scott, how well do ya think you'd write after a stroke or two?

David, you're using a 'Straw Man'. I'll let you talk with your creation.

Happy New Year.
