Hodges on 1969 Mets team signed baseball
 

I am wondering if anyone can explain why Hodges signatures on majority of 69 team signed balls are in different ink color than other signatures on the same ball?

Some guys carried their own open, not sure about Hodges

1969 Expos
 

I have a 1969 Expos ball that I've had since it was signed. Gene Mauch signature has always been darker, and in a different pen. To this day it is the darkest autograph.

Most 69 Mets balls have a stamped Hodges signature. On the ones that he did sign I never really noticed that it was a different pen color.
