There is a lot of "data" to analyze in this signature. It's not like it is one of those single line "marks" that passes for entertainment signatures these days.
This very well may be 100% consistent with Koufax's crowd signature. The TPAs are continuously updating their files with the latest in-person signature exemplars. While it is certainly not an example I would want -- who picks a dented can when so many un-dented ones are available? -- this does not strike me as an "un-authenticatible" example.
Authenticating isn't just picking the textbook perfect examples and tossing the rest. Just about anyone can do that. A good authenticator will have exemplars of walking signatures, crowd signatures, variants, etc. Even in an atypically sloppy example, a good authenticator may be able to recognize very subtle positive attributes that a forger would be highly unlikely to replicate.
Just my 2 cents.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am the space autograph consultant for JSA and SGC.
