Help w/ many unknown autos

[earlywynnfan]

I bought a large lot of lesser signed baseballs, pretty much all pre-2000, and there are a bunch I don't know. I'm hoping you all love to play the "Can I figure out who this is?" game as much as I do.

The first group of 3 are from a group of owners/execs; the bottom one of those is marked "Pirates."

The very last bunch has one that looks an awful lot like Russ Bauers, but he didn't wear that # as a player. Anyone know if he coached?

Thanks,
Ken

I take a shot a a couple:

3rd photo, bottom left ball - Rickey Romero ?

4th photo, top right ball - Candy Moldanado ?

The illiterate scrawls of journeyman players.
Play ball with 'em. Or donate them to the nearest Little League.

Last photo top right looks like Hard Hitten Mark Whiten.

4th picture middle is Brett Butler I believe
5th picture bottom left is Gregg Jefferies I believe

Thanks for the help! Here is another I don't know, it's a vintage ball on the back with Mel Allen.

Mel's on-air partner Jim "Possum" Woods

Check on Woods, he spent a couple of years here with the A's.

Also I think next to the ball believed to be Brett Butler might be Del Unser.

[earlywynnfan]

Thanks! Woods is a new one to me. I should have recognized Unser.

Looks like a lot of international league guys from the late 90s, specifically the Scranton team that was Philadelphia's AAA affiliate.

Are you sure that's not Brett Butler? I have met him and gotten a few sigs and he added that smiley face to mine too. Just asking.

Wow, you're absolutely right. I was looking at this on my phone and totally missed the smiley. That is Brett. Sorry!

Sorry I'm so late in thanking you all for the help.

Derek: I thought I recognized far too many useless autographs, but you have me beat! I bow to you!!

Lol...There's something really important I don't know because my brain is too busy remembering what Ricky Otero's signature looks like.

BTW:
Next to Bottalico is Mark Parent
To the left of Relaford is Mitch Williams

A couple others look very familiar but can't place them.
