Stan Coveleski -The Inside Pitch

[dgo71]

I thought the same thing, a guy who can't write has a better signature than 90% of today's athletes. Great story, I also had never known this about Coveleski.

Jim you have the best stories.Do you have any about Mr.Ed?

Not sure if Jim knows but here is your answere.

The stars of the show were Mister Ed, a palomino horse who could "talk", played by gelding Bamboo Harvester and voiced by former Western star Allan Lane (who went uncredited for the entire length of the series)

Thanks Shelly.I was wondering if Jim knew his signing habits.He had mentioned
in another thread that Ed was a good TTM signer.

Actually I've heard both Mr. Ed and Francis the talking mule were both bad TTM signers.

Unlike Chetta he signed with his mouth for his full name and his hoof for just a quick signiture.

Interesting stuff. I have had my eye out for a vintage playing days signature on an album page or cut or even a vintage fountain pen GPC. Do these even exist?

That is a really good question ! Stan lived to be 94 and it seems like everything I can recall ever seeing signed by him was later in his life , Maybe someone has an early example they can share

His brother Harry who also pitched in the major leagues & who died in 1950 , is a tougher autograph but was a prolific signer and I've seen early examples of his signature with elaborate inscriptions and he would often include his nickname "The Giant Killer"
