Let's see your ugliest autograph

[Scott Garner]

Here are the signatures of perfect game pitcher Phillip Humber and double no-hit pitcher Homer Bailey on their no-hit tickets.

I would say these are pretty terrible, but this disease is sadly ubiquitous amongst virtually all modern players...

You'd think that Humber would make a little more effort in signing his name on a ticket for his perfect game. Especially considering this was a paid signing I presume.

Steve,
I would agree with you, and yes, it was a paid signing. Sadly, I believe that this is literally as good as it gets with these modern players...

Eric - that Manny does look like a math equation!!

Here's what Yu Darvish looks like. Not sure if I'm even holding it the right way:

Must be a combination of Persian and Japanese

Here is a few that I have the links for here at work.

Not really ugly but not a name.


Miguel Sano







Norman Reedus (from a paid signing)


I could go on with a lot more.

I found a binder buried in a closet last week that contained maybe a thousand autographs that I collected as a kid, so all are 30 years old or more.

I hesitate to say that I could read ALL of them, but I could definitely read the vast majority of them.

Below is one of the least readable.

Interesting. Illegible, unless you are a Basketball Hall of Fame collector then you would instantly recognize the signature of George Mikan. I find that many signatures can be challenging until you see them a few times. Once you recognize it you don't think about it. I am sure there are at least a few on here that would agree.

Here is one that I got TTM. It is not someone who has been asked for his signature much as he competed in Field Hockey for the U.S. at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia where the team finished 11th. Granted, he was about 90 years old when he signed this two years ago, but I still had to do a Scooby-Doo when I saw it (turn head slightly and make the sound he always made). His name is Kurt Ucko.
