hi and thanks for taking time to look at my thread I just recently inherited this possible 1958 Indians autographed baseball from a relative recently passed away can anybody please help me I'd be some other names on the ball I can make out larry dolby minnie minoso and hoyt Wilhelm, which is pretty good however I can't tell who many of the other names are. there may possibly be roger maris and other hall of famers like bob lemon but I just can't tell please help me id some if possible.
Any sign of maris? |
I am not an autograph guy, but I can tell you that Minoso, Wilhelm and Maris did not play on the 1948 Indians. If you have Roger Maris on the ball, that points to 1957.
Information using this link might help you identify players: http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CLE/1957.shtml Edited to add: Didn't realize Minoso also didn't play for the Tribe in '57. I see you edited your title, so I'm guessing the reference to 48 was a typo. Good luck with the ball. |
Nevermind, I didn't see the edit.

No autograph experts us by any means, so just guesses:
- bottom (last horizontal sig) in first photo, Mickey Vernon ('58 his only year with Cleveland) - second one above that (center of first photo) looks like "Bill Hardin" -- best candidate from '58 Tribe might be Carroll Hardy - next above that one might be Dick Brown - next above that (also second below Doby in second photo) clearly looks to us like somebody White, but we see no likely matches on the '57-'58-'59 Cleveland roster - second from bottom in fourth photo, could be Ray Narleski - second from top in fifth photo, maybe Vic Wertz - below that, third from top in fifth photo, Morrie Martin - near bottom in sixth photo, Gary Bell |
Second scan, top signature looks like Larry Doby.
On both 6th and 7th scan, just below center, is Hoyt Wilhelm Below Wilhelm looks like Hal Woodeshek Below Woodeshek looks like Gary Bell hard to read |

In the fourth photo, I think the top signature may be Vic Power, and I am pretty sure that the giant R below that belongs to Rocky Colavito.

Any idea on possible value to this ball?
