Can you confirm this autograph as Clemente

I got this auto in 1966 when a kid attending a Pirates-Astros game at the Astrodome. I think it is Roberto Clemente and wanted some thoughts. Got several autos in the program. The one to the left is Joe Morgan.

I have never seen a Clemente like that. I believe the other autograph looks like a Jose Pagan.

Very good call I believe. 1966 was a long time ago. Did find this and it is closer to what I have. Manny Mota from a JSA sig book found on eBay.

I don’t think it’s Manny Mota, either. Then again, signatures sometimes change (see: Willie Mays)

Certainly looks like this early Mota (facsimile) signature to me:

This is from a 1968 album, and it looks pretty close to how I remember him signing back when I collected Pirates auto's.

Funny how this went from being autographs of Joe Morgan and Roberto Clemente to being autographs of Jose Pagan and Manny Mota....
