Help make sense of this signed ball?

I found this ball in a shop earlier with what appears to be multiple signatures. I can't figure out if this was a ball that was signed by a bunch of random players with no affiliation or maybe they were at an all star game? Can anyone help out? Some autos include Johnny Vander Meer, Bob Stinson, Ray Washburn, Mel Stottlemyre, Jo-Jo White

Middle of the third picture is Don Larsen and top of last picture is Enos Slaughter. Why Jo Jo White is on there is odd, since he's a NBA guy and the others seem to be baseball?

It does have a couple of cool guys on it though. Johnny Vander Meer is the only guy in mlb history to throw two consecutive no-hitters. Don Larsen is 1 of two guys (Roy Halladay) to throw a no hitter in the playoffs...his was in the World Series actually. Enos Slaughter is a HOF'er. Jo Jo White was on the Kansas team to lose to Texas Western for the NCAA championship in which they made the movie Glory Road about.

I attended an old timers game in the 80s that had a nice selection of random guys. This could have come from something similar.

There is this guy too, although I didn't take time to try to match signatures

Thanks for this as I was scratching my head on why one of my favorite Celtics of all time was doing on this ball.

Obviously, not a Celtic at all!

Neat ball!

Theyre asking $50 for it but I have no idea if that's fair for something like this, I usually stick to team specific balls if possible.

That makes more sense! I had no idea there was a baseball guy by the same name.

If all legit signatures $50 is a steal for the ball.

Don't overlook Ed(die) Mathews, who's under Washburn.

$50 is a great deal assuming all those are legit. Also, what a story that ball had! I think the JoJo White auto, while odd, is really cool.

A jo jo white did play baseball in the 1930-40's.
Most if not all seem to have been signed at the same time.
Mel Stottlemyre just passed recently.

A few HOFers.

It looks like a ball with no theme/team.

Probably not worth a lot but I would expect $50 is a decent price.

could display it as a Vander Meer single
