Cubsfan-Budman,

Although admittedly Warren Spahn's autograph deteriorated in his later years, I tend to disagree with you on this.

Here is an earlier version of his signature, a GPC from 1952. It looks pretty good to me, compared to today's player chicken tracks that they call an autograph.

Harmon Killebrew has a great sig. IMO. I must agree with others regarding the impact technology has had on penmanship. As an English teacher I must decipher their scribble. There are times when I can barely recognize the student's name. Mind you, this is print we're talking about! My students often complain of wrist fatigue when writing but a paragraph as so much of their "writing" takes place on a word processor. Also, Derek Jetter's sig is a train wreck!

As a recently resigned educator, I agree that Killebrew is one of the best in the hobby.

Reminds me of the John Kennedy & Jungle Jim Rivera meeting. Anyone that has ever seen JFK's signature will know what I mean. Goes like this, Kennedy throws out first pitch opening day. Rivera who didn't get his nickname "Jungle Jim" by accident retrieves the ball and gives it to Kennedy, and while doing so asks the President if he would sign a baseball for him. Kennedy does and hands it to Rivera who looks at it and says "Whats this ???"
