Need Help Identifying an Autograph
I just purchased a 1997 Cox Communications Dream Game bat signed by 16 members of the National League team. This was a annual charity event held in the 1990's to benefit a local Phoenix hospital. I am able to identify 15 out of the 16 autographs but this one I cannot identify. Can anyone help? Thanks.

According to an article in the 1 Feb 1997 edition of the Arizona Republic newspaper, the game was played on 1 Feb 1997.
The players they identified as participants are: NL Johnny Vandermeer Bill Buckner Dave Lopes Bill Russell Ron Cey Bill Madlock Darrell Porter George Foster Dave Kingman Gary Matthews Rico Carty Jay Johnstone Jerry Reuss Johnny Podres Lew Burdette Randy Jones Jay Howell AL Frank Robinson Darrell Evans Dick Allen Bert Campaneris Jim Essian Manny Sanguillen Steve Kemp Dave Parker Leon Wagner Frank Howard Joe Rudi Goose Gossage Sparky Lyle Mudcat Grant Bob Feller Dave Stewart Earl Wilson So, since the signature looks like a George, and George Foster is the only "George" identified as participating in the game, I'd say it's probably him.

I also saw where Foster was the only "George" that played in the game, but didn't want to suggest it since it really doesn't look like most of his sigs, but his G in george has changed over the years and he did do one exactly like yours, and the Foster on the bat is probably a result of rushing with a fatter sharpie. Best guess is that it is indeed Foster.

Thank you for information about the game. I thought it looked like George but was not sure.

I would agree with George, but not Foster. Last name is too off. Who were the coaches in the game?
