Help with some Early 80's / Late 70s Dodgers Balls
Hi guys- got a handful of balls in a small lot I recently purchased that I need some help with. Some of the signatures are super light and/or rubbed off as it looks like a kid used the same ball for signatures over the course of several years.
Any help is appreciated! TYIA!! The first ball I think is 1985 Dodgers; I have already ID'ed a few, but need some help with the others Sweet Spot - LaSorda https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/MtQUFs.jpg Panel 1- 1. Candy Maldonado??? (looks like he has a different vintage signature and it may be this?) 2. Rick Honeycutt 3. Bobby Castillo 4. Vin Scully https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/9U0LGs.jpg Panel 2- 1. Mariano Duncan (Partial) 2. Dave Anderson 3. Ron Perranoski 4. Orel Hershiser 5. (First name Todd, actually leaning towards random Batboy with this one) ??? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/K2uxtt.jpg Panel 3 (Think I got these, please correct me if I'm Wrong) - 1. Ken Landreaux 2. Pedro Guerrero 3. Sid Bream 4. Bob Welch https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/XHH5Uy.jpg Panel 4 - 1. RJ Reynolds 2. Rick Honeycutt 3. Carlos Diaz??? 4. Al Oliver 5. Greg Brock??? (NOT Steve Garvey) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/5txeTM.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/DKOfMw.jpg Ball #2 is a ZINGER - these are pretty tough, outside the ones I've ID'ed - I think this one is from 1978(?) Panel 1 - Don Sutton https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Be7xnK.jpg Panel 2- 1. Lance Rautzhan??? 2. Reggie Smith https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/zYJTnH.jpg Panel 3 - 1. Steve Garvey?? 2. Lee Lacy https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/a67iCv.jpg |
Panel 3; # 2 is Lee Lacy

Many of these are too faint for my eyes. Here are some, however:
Ball 1, Panel 1: #2: A messier Rick Honeycutt. He had a few different versions which he used interchangeably--apparently, sometimes even on the same item! His presence would place the ball at 1983 if you had already narrowed it down to 1981-83. Panel 2, #3 is not Bill Russell, but rather Ron Perranoski Ball 2: Panel 4, #4 is not Dave Stewart, but rather Al Oliver. This also isolates the ball to the 1985 season. Panel 4, bottom doesn't appear to be Garvey and it's a bit too obscured to make out. I believe I agree with any others where you've added "??". |

EDIT: I think with your help, isolating to '85, I have figured it out - leaving above in case I'm wrong. THANK YOU for the assistance! |
Ball #1 - Panel 2 is not Fernando Valenzuela, it is Mariano Duncan.
