Any ideas on this ball and signature

I always thought Rusty Greer never got the credit he deserved. He was a hell of a player.

It's probably because he didn't 'roid up like the rest of the stars in that era (or did he??). Greer is definitely an overlooked star for that period, but most likely because he only had about 6 solid years. I always thought Michael Young was also never given his proper due (same franchise).

BTW, I'm sure the owner of the ball is relieved to know that it's Greer and not Schu.

I absolutely loved watching him play. He always gave 110%.

I am not sure about that but he was a hometown hero baseball player. He was the kind of player every manager wanted. I valued the ball at about $25 for the owner as Greer was a career .300 hitter and a local celeb....
