The one I'm struggling to identify is "Rosey". I've dealt with this autograph enough in the ancient past to know it's authentic, but it's not a ballplayer. Fairly certain it's a boxer. Anyone care to ease this guy's mind? (FYI, it's not Max "Rosie" Rosenfeld or Slapsy Maxie Rosenblum.)
GOT IT! I deciphered what it says underneath "Rosey": KDKA! The oldest radio station on earth, out of Pittsburgh! I was incorrect; not a boxer. It's Rosey Rowswell, sportscaster for Pirates games. Now, nobody is forging that guy's autograph on a piece, are they?! As noted, I've seen it several times before and my mind first recognized it as an authentic autograph based on formation before the answer came to me! Anyway, mystery quickly solved.
