His last year with Baltimore was 1924, yet he signed it "Grove" and it looks consistent with the usual way he signed during his playing days. The only 'if' would be if he signed this team ball AFTER 1924...but the ink looks like the rest of the signatures on the ball.

Does anybody have any other examples of him signing his name "Robert Groves" like above with the looped "e"'s?

Jason,

I believe the ball you referenced (from MEARS auction) is a 1931 Athletics ball. You can make out several key players that hadn't played on the Orioles. I think I even saw a Waite Hoyt sig on the ball.
