Can Anyone Recognize Any Of These Baseball Signatures?

Thanks

Seem to be obscure players….Al Benton, Len Ratto, Herman Reich. Commonality seems to be Cleveland Indians late 40s….

Interesting, thanks for the info. Now to determine if they are real or not

The owners of the estate were about to throw these away

One looks like Leo Righetti, who was never a major leaguer.

on the 2nd photo, the one name is for sure Leo Righetti (Dave's dad), and the one above him looks to be Al Worthington...and the one on top would appear to be Tom Galli....these guys were all from the early 50's

Middle name on the first pic is Al Benton...in fact..

A lot of these names can be found on this page....Gordon, Ratto, Reich, Dick Faber and others listed above...seems to be minor league balls....

Thanks for the info. Kepper19. Interesting that these were minor Leaguers from the 50's.
Thanks again!

Joe Gordon is an all-time great, a Yankee, and most importantly a Hall of Famer. Good find!

While looking at the 1951 PCL I was astonished more by who managed these teams. Mel Ott, Stan Hack, Joe Gordon, Rogers Hornsby and of course with the San Francisco Seals we have the great Lefty O'Doul who was a good friend of my great uncle.

I would have went to these game just to see the managers!

There was a restaurant/bar...Lefty O'Doul's... maybe it was Just O'Doul's... that was at Union Square in San Francisco. I remember being there back in the 1980s. There were all kinds of photos and newspapers and other sports memorabilia on the walls. It was quite the place back in the day. Not sure it is still there... very close to the St. Francis Hotel. I thought it was across the street from the side entrance to the St. Francis.
