Thanks!

Reggie Jackson before he tanned.

I think we have a winner - someone emailed me that it is Lee Walls, who was a coach with the A's in the 70s and 80s. I can't find a pic of him as an A's coach, but from his cards from the 50s and 60s, it definitely looks like him.

Thanks!

Any thoughts on the signature itself? I liked it, but others know more than I do...

Signature is authentic.

I think that's Dale Jr in the background

Sorry, a little late to the party but I'll also confirm that looks like Lee Walls who was an A's coach from 1979-82 under Billy Martin.

dm.jpg Still looks like Dom Dimaggio to me.

That does seem like a good fit, but let me throw out another possible. Eddie Mathews. He was a batting coach for Oakland for a short period of time and that is immediately who I thought it was seeing the face before I looked at other peoples guesses. I may be wrong, but I would be willing to bet money on it. Hope this helps, Jason
