I think that this "back in the old days..." stuff is a bit off base.
You can pick and choose to find a handful of signers who do not fit the stereotype, but take any team-signed ball from the 40's and compare it to a modern team-signed ball and the difference will be striking. On the modern ball, the only signatures that you can actually "read" are typically the coaches'. The others, you just have to memorize their glyphs.
