Help with these baseball autos (mainly Padres and Reds)

[frankhardy]

I acquired a few baseball autographs from a Padres fan, even though I live in western Kentucky. Anyway, I am having trouble identifying a few autographs. Some on the sheet may not even be Padres players. For that matter, the baseball may not be Padres. Shane Mack played for the Padres, but I am not sure who the other 2 signatures are on the baseball. These signature appear to be from the mid to late 1980s.

On the sheet, I can identify Ed Vosberg, Shane Mack, Gene Walter, Tom Browning (Reds), Wayne Krenchicki (Reds), Ron Robinson (Reds), Terry Forster?, Lance McCullers. The rest, I can't identify. Any help would be appreciated.

In blue ballpoint on the sheet are:

David Wells (Possibly) (Reds - 1995)
Dave Parker (Reds - 1984-1987)
Terry Forster (never played for either the Padres or Reds)
Ron Robinson (Reds - 1984-1990)
Wayne Krenchicki (Reds - 1982-1985)
Tom Browning (Reds - 1984-1994)
Gene Walter (Pades - 1985-1986)

Black sharpie:
Ed Vosberg (Padres - 1986)
Larry Andersen (Padres - 1991-1992)
Ron Oglesby (Padres bullpen coach/catcher - 1991-1992)
Shane Mack (Padres - 1987-1988)
Lance McCullers (Padres - 1985-1988)
Ron Gant (Possibly) (Reds - 1995)

Wow! Thanks a million!

Any idea on the baseball?

[Steve D]

The signature on the ball (third picture) might possibly be Carmelo Martinez, who played for the Padres from 1984 - 1989).

Second baseball pic, and also bottom right of the first pic of the sheet, is Keith Comstock.

On same sheet pic:
Top left in blue ballpoint is Dave Meads.
Below Shane Mack is Ty Gainey. Meads and Gainey were both Astros in this time frame.
Bottom left is Mark Grant (upside down).

[Steve D]

I agree with Derek.

The one I thought could be David Wells, is actually Dave Meads
The one I thought might be Ron Gant, is actually Mark Grant
That is Ty Gainey below Shane Mack (the T in Ty is camouflaged by Mack)
Keith Comstock is the other one (I never would have guessed that!)

Wow. Keith Comstock? I even looked up who wore number 32 for the Padres and saw Keith Comstock, but I never would have matched that autograph with him. Sure enough, it's him.

I never did understand how that was supposed to be a "K" either. Definitely a unique signature.

It think Carmelo Martinez is correct on the third baseball picture.
