Triple Crown ball with clubhouse sigs?? What??

So here's what I think is a good question.

Lets say the original owner was getting the signatures through the mail, and sent the ball to the Red Sox to try to get the Yaz and Williams sigs. I know in the late 70's Williams was a "special hitting coach" while Yaz was playing.

So maybe those two were ghost signed by someone then?
Still not real, and not likely knowing a little about Williams signing at the park back then (Donation to the Jimmy fund, or no signature. And less than whatever he asked got a rubber stamp!)

Wouldn't that scenario make the description accurate?

And if that's accurate what does it say about the other signatures?

PS - That ball would be something I'd call a good candidate for one of those cut signature cards- mostly wrecked as -is, but with a few good bits.
