Actually, I see what look like two cleats in the third picture, one on the heel, and one between the ball and the arch of the shoe.

Yes Steve:

These are cleats so I assume a baseball player. MAY BE a Red Sox as this came from a Red Sox fan's collection.

Makes sense. The collection of my deceased friend was from Philly.

Do I hear a "second" on this being a Cole Hamels autograph?

THANKS! That seals it for me.

I agree, it's definitely Cole Hamels.

There are also multiple photos of Hamels on ebay, where he's wearing New Balance cleats.
