Default Hate to go modern, but his sig is awesome...
On top of being the greatest Closer of all time, Mariano Rivera sports one of the most handsome autographs, too...

This one isn't mine, but I just picked up a similar item as a door prize at a Charity event in Ridgefield, CT that he was hosting...best $50 I've ever spent...

I gotta agree with Jimmy. A nice not rushed Gehrig is a beauty, but I am biased.

One of my favorites also happens to be an vintage Tex Carleton

I always like Marty Marion's sig. Sorry I don't have a scan. Gehringer is my favorite though.

Best,

Andy

Always liked Duffy Lewis,

Derek Jeter is nice for current players, and A-Rod too, when he actually signs his full name.

Wow, that Duffy Lewis looks very cool!

For vintage, I can always appreciate a Joe Dimaggio or Ted Williams, but a more obscure choice would be Roger Maris. I always Maris' his signature was somewhat representative of himself -- classy and reserved.

And among the modern era, Griffey Jr. is nice as well....

Default Timeless classic signatures
Let's face it, whether it's lack of emphasis on penmanship or the computer age, very few modern athletes can even sign their name legibly.

Nothing beats the beautiful flow of an early fountain pen autograph.
It seems to me that a person's signature says a lot about the man.
Here are a few of my early baseball favorites and why:

Christy Mathewson- Formal and educated- a classic!

Ernie Shore- Big, stylish and with a loopy flair- Awesome!

Carl Hubbell- Classic, left-handed and precise, exactly like his pitching style

Johnny Vander Meer- Timeless and unwavering in terms of consistency over the 65 years that he signed autographs. I find it very interesting that as a famous lefty pitcher, he ironically penned his autograph with his right hand. I've always wondered why...

As did Ruth and Gehrig, Scott. Those tough Brothers and Schoolmarms are to blame. Something about the Devil is a southpaw, or something like that.

Wow Jimmy, I think you might be on to something there! I knew Babe signed right handed, but I never knew about The Iron Horse....

I think Andy Petitte and CC Sabathia sign their names right handed too. I remember reading the only thing CC does with his left arm/hand is throw a baseball and that was because he stunk right handed and his dad said maybe you're a lefty.

Rivera has a great signature that has changed radically over the years. He seems to intentionally mix it up every few years.
