I don't have a single signed ball but I do have this Mel Ott signature that has been in my family for about seventy years. When my dad was a teenager, ca. 1940, he waited outside the Polo Grounds after a game and got Ott to sign this. He then drew these incredible pictures of him- don't know if he traced them or drew them freehand- but the end result is this really cool display. He kept this sheet in a scrapbook for most of his life. Dad is still alive and well, playing tennis four times a week at the age of 84. And of course he was thrilled that the Giants won the World Series this past year.
Sorry I don't have a signed ball, but just wanted to share this Ott signature with the board (and you guys better not tell me it's a fake!).
