At the game they had former pros signing autographs. So my dad bought me a ball and I was able to get Mickey Mantle, Bob Feller, Peewee Reese, A. Ray Smith and one other signature I can't make out on the ball. Then, I went home and played with the ball haha... The ball is in fairly rough shape I would say... browning, wear from a bat, and a few random stains... no grass stains though. All the signatures are legible with very little smudging in bright blue ink.
What I am wondering is, has anyone ever seen a ball like this before? Wondering what the value may be if I sent it off to get authenticated. If anyone remembers that game or has any other information about it I would love to hear from you as well.

Jim Fregosi is your other signature on the ball. He was an All Star SS with the California Angels and was traded to the Mets for some wild-ass pitcher named Nolan Ryan in late 1971. I hear that Ryan guy ended up being a decent pitcher...
