You do realize the Reds didn't play at Wrigley, right?
Do you mean Riverfront Stadium?

I found this when I googled on deck circles - this is a post from 2011.
"I have seen many pictures of the old baseball parks in which the on-deck circles had both the home team's one and the visitors' one. I think Wrigley Field still does it, probably Dodger Stadium and Rogers Centre. However, most parks have the home team logo by their dugout and either the league's on deck circle (Ex. National League or American League Logo), the Major League Baseball logo, or, in the case of US Cellular Field, The White Sox logo by the Sox's dugout and a US Cellular Field one with a white sock by the visitors' dugout."

The lack of TM/Copyright on the logo points to it being an older one. It's got that going for it.
It looks to be the 1967-1971 Reds logo, but Morgan didn't start playing for them until 1972 so it was probably signed after the fact...or it's "old stock" that was still hanging around Wrigley...either is possible as far as I know.

Thank you
Great info, thank you. From what I understand, pieces like this were often used for multiple seasons or kept around the park as old stock, so that lines up with what I was told as well.
The important part for me is that it was field-used at Wrigley and later signed by multiple Hall of Famers, including Morgan. I appreciate you pointing out the era of the logo that actually helps narrow down the history of it.

Totally glossed over the "hit king" tag on the signature. Beyond that, having just those 4 guys would be a hell of a collection of only those guys for the period the on deck circle was used.

Signatures
For clarification: upon further research the Pete Rose ‘Hit King’ signature, along with the other Hall of Famers, was signed in person at a verified sports convention in later years. All signatures are authenticated with COA/hologram, ensuring their legitimacy
