Personally, I have no clue so any help is appreciated. For all I know it could be a 10 cent ball and fake signature (and a fake that I have no clue about anyway )

Rick Schu?

He never seemed to forget that there is a 'c' after the 'S' before.....

Nor can I find any example of that R or S.

He also was out of the game in 1991, (AAA) except for 1 game in 1996. So this would have been a post-career or minor league signing. I mean, WHO would do that to a perfectly good ball??

(My first guess was Schu also.)

You guys are awesome. So I guess the total value is around $1-$2 because the baseball itself looks pretty good?

That is former Ranger Rusty Greer. I'm 100 percent certain of that.

I agree with Jax, it's Rusty Greer.

With Rick Schu you usually got a distinctive R..K but the last part is very similar. Greer is pretty consistent with the R_ for first name.

Thanks....I will research Greer. That makes some sense too since it was found in the Dallas area. I appreciate everyone's input.
