Baseball w/ Brooklyn Dodger Autographs
 
I have two baseballs that I received as a child. If I remember correctly, they were autographed in either the late 1980's or very early 1990's at an LA Dodger spring training camp in Florida by some old Brooklyn Dodger members (possibly some early LA Dodgers).

I can make out Preacher Roe, and I believe Ralph Branca. The other two signatures are a mystery to me. I was wondering if anyone out there would recognize them (and verify that that is probably Branca's auto)? I was looking to sell the balls and actually knowing whose autographs are on them will obviously help...

Thanks in advance!

Preacher Roe
Ralph Branca?

Unknown #1 looks like Ron Perranoski who was a pitcher for the Dodgers in the 1960s.

The second one I can't determine.

First is definitely Perranoski, 2nd is NOT Branca. Looks vaguely like a possible Rube Walker, but I doubt it.

What makes you think it isn't Branca?? I think it looks just like his sig.

The other is Pedro Guerrero.

Thanks! Looking up other Perranoski autographs makes me think you're absolutely right on that one. That's three down, and Roe, Branca, and Perranoski are all on the same ball. That last unknown one is on a ball by itself.

But at least I'm 75% of the way there. Thanks again.

I laughed when I read that (Maybe it's because I can't see "Pedro Guerrero" and not hear his name in OJ Simpson's voice). Then I looked up his autograph and holy crap I think you're right.

You guys are awesome. Thanks.

My bad...I was looking at the "Guerrero" picture. Yes, definitely Branca and I think the last one is Pedro too. Nice call!
