Default Can anyone decipher this autograph?

I was roaming around the bay and came across this autograph.
Can anyone venture a guess as to who it is that supposedly signed this baseball?

I think that might have been the way Mantle signed when he had a pen between his toes.

It appears to have been written by an infant who got ahold of a pen and a ball. Who would ever want to display it?

Don't forget it was authenticated by PSA, though I cannot imagine the exemplars they used. I just googled ---- ---- autograph and the exemplars illustrated do not compare very well with the one I posted.

That is the auto of 19th century player John Lovebunny. If you look at the signature, it clearly shows a HEART and then a RABBIT, which is how John always signed. The ball has all of the markings of typical game use from a late 1880's game (such as that blue rectangle-thing), and the pen used is obviously of the period.

Can't believe this one slipped past you, Richard. Guess I'll start sending all of my business to one of the "other guys"...

I thought it seriously looked like some hideous Manny Ramirez signatures I've seen - his autograph is equally as disgusting as this one.

Bo obviously doesn't know penmanship.
