Need help with autos on 2007 Cubs ball

[dgo71]

Above Sean Marshall is Glendon Rusch.

The one identified as Larry Rothschild is actually Ryan Dempster.

Under the Rawlings logo is Michael Wuertz, but it is upside-down in the picture which may be why you didn't recognize it.

The one you think is Felix Pie is actually Mike Fontenot. The question mark below him and to the left is Clay Rapada.

Thank you for that. I was going by the number 17 not realizing Fontenot also wore that number sometime during the season. Thank you also for the Rapada.

so I am down to 2. The first could be Rich Hill or Felix Pie?

[dgo71]

The first is without a doubt Glendon Rusch. He was not on the active roster but was still with the Cubs in 2007. He spent the entirety of the season on the injured list with a blood clot in his arm.

Thanks again, down to one. I appreciate all your help.

A thought - since this ball was signed by Glendon Rusch and Jim Henry, is it possible this is a ball from the 2007 Cubs Convention since Rusch was released the end of January?

Likely Rusch's signature but Rusch was not on the roster in 2007.

Good catch on Wuertz. Didn't think about the possibility of the sig being upside down.

Thank you, appreciate it.
