If that was a grapefruit it could be Richard Widmark. 10 points for those that get that reference...100 if you're under 40.

Hunter gives credit to Harmon Killebrew for his autograph being decent

I don't collect signed items, but my next door neighbor gave me this one for collecting her mail while she was away attending a family gathering in NC. It is signed by her MLB-playing nephew. Does anyone recognize who's signature this is?
The only clue I need to provide is, her last name is Bumgarner.

Madison Bumgarner. 16 letters, condensed to 2. You can see his #40.

I Love Lucy...

Widmark signed it for Lucy in one of the "California" episodes, and it later shriveled up! When she read the name, she pronounced it funny, because of the scrunched up letter formation. Great reference!

Yep, 10 points for you. To finish the reference, she also got an Orange signed by Robert Taylor (it also shriveled up) and let's not forget her stealing John Wayne's sig and hand prints from Grauman's Theater. Ah, back in the day when TV was simple and often silly.

I officially excuse William Vanlandingham if he shortened his signature...

Totally agree there are some bad signatures out there. I really only collect modern Reds players. I looked at Nick Senzel and Aristides Aquino balls, both were abbreviations. Perhaps worse than them is Luis Castillo - his is a scribble. Joey Votto is abbreviated. Jose Iglesias is a doodle of some sort. But you know which one I like? Eugenio Suarez. He has a nice signature. I'm really hoping he gets to 50 HRs this year. He'd be the third Reds player ever behind George Foster and Adam Dunn. Crossing my fingers for him. He looks like a fun-loving guy.

Here ya go. Still better than a lot of today's sigs. I used to love that guy...a ton of talent but goofy like many lefty's.
