Default Out of context autographs

I often look at some autographed items and wonder why the owner had the player sign the item. As a book collector, I'm not keen on signatures of players who aren't featured in the book, particularly if they are from a later era.

Here's an example of Doc Young's 1954 Great Negro Baseball Stars.

Ray Burris? Bob Lemon? (at least i think it's Bob Lemon, but perhaps not) What was the owner thinking?
