Roger maris ball opinions

Negative. I agree with Mike, the only similarity is the ink. Nolan has a very unique hand writing which can be spotted easily.

Mike, congrats on the Maris ball, it's a beauty.

Yes, yes, yes....

The 'R' was what got my attention - I've never seen anyone else write a capital 'R' with that little vertical hitch.

looking at other ryan autos on balls on ebay he does sign his "r" similar to maris but his is thinner at the top on most using the bottom of the R to form his Y as well

I think it's obvious that Roger Maris and Nolan Ryan weren't secretly signing for one another, but there are definitely some style similarities.

[w7imel]

Do you think ryan may have signed R like maris intentionally?

[Runscott]

I don't know. I just saw an anomaly and commented. Also, the overall look of the ball (including color of ink and slant) reminded me of my Ryan ball.

Thats your ball!!!!? Awesome!!

Hey not only the R scott look how ryan signs his "N" he also starts it the way maris starts his "M" They most definatly have similar signature styles. Ryan appears to sign with a heavier hand than maris IMO
