This marks the first time I have ever seen any cursive writing in Leonard's hand other than his autograph, so I can't comment on if he wrote that part himself or not! Even before the stroke, he printed everything in block letters, and I mean everything. The autograph is obviously fine, and the inscription certainly appears to have been added at the same time with the same pen. Very interesting, to say the least. I appreciate seeing this.
His better half, Lugenia "Jean" Leonard, did write everything in cursive, however. I've even seen her write "Hall of Fame" when writing a letter for Buck after the stroke, and while there are some similarities here, there are more differences. Like I said, it's just very interesting from an authentication/study standpoint. It's pretty hard to be captivated by a Buck Leonard piece! Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 01-15-2025 at 11:27 AM.

Thanks Mark, I'll just take a look myself. It will be interesting to see more. Wondering how nothing else has ever crossed my path in all these years! Hilarious if so.

Yup, they had two examples of him employing cursive. I appreciate this information!
Actually, I have seen post-stroke cursive writing one time, but for some reason it isn't in my files and it slipped my mind. He made a valiant effort to inscribe "The Black Lou Gehrig" on the side panel of a ball. Sadly, a terrific struggle ensued. Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 01-15-2025 at 12:27 PM.
