Who's signature?

If I was absolutely sure that I wanted to try to remove the dirt mark, I would try a Magic Rub eraser. These are sold at all art supply stores and most likely Staples and Office Max. I have successfully used these on baseballs with great results in the past. These will not damage a ball if used sparingly.

Agree. White art eraser or a microfiber cloth will clean up light surface dirt. They will not remove stains embedded in the leather.

Is this a game used ball or a new ball with dirt on it.

I am not sure its game used or not. Its one one side of the panel and a little on the top. The rest of the ball is pretty clean.

Yea, it is. I am leaning towards leaving it alone as well.

I agree. Better off leaving it as is.
