Didn't come across any info on who (and when) the Braves played in Spring training that year, and was still typing when Crownsports posted that they did play the Red Sox on March 14, 1954. And if correct, Aaron was in fact at and in that game. Bobby Thompson, the Braves starting left fielder, had broken his ankle the day before during a game on 3/13/54, while sliding into second base. Aaron ended up starting and playing for the first time ever for the major league club in the game the next day, on March 14, 1954.
If it turns out that is the same game this signed ball ended up coming from, then it is a real damn shame no one got Aaron's signature on this ball. And additionally, in looking back at the ball, also noted Jimmy Piersall had signed it. He was playing for the Red Sox in '54 as well. The OP can probably identify any other signatures on that ball by looking at the Braves and Red Sox rosters from 1954.
