He must have spent months if not years designing his signature.

I used to see Fred "Fireball" Wenz all the time. He was born in Bound Brook, NJ and owns or owned Garden Oaks Specialties, also in Bound Brook, a business selling outdoor sheds, playsets, pond supplies and the like. Was there every weekend when my kids were growing up and we had a little fish pond in the yard. Fred is a very good guy but I didn't realize he had such a neat signature. Talked baseball with him a few times but never got his autograph.
