    Shot in the dark, but could it be Andy Frain of Andy Frain Services (ushers/security guards at Chicago stadiums)? I have no idea if he would have been considered a "celebrity" to give autographs??

    It could be, but I can't find any examples of his signature. Thanks though!

    Thanks for the guesses guys, but I don't think anyone has figured it out yet, haha. It's a toughie, I can't figure it out.

    Any info on the "year" of the baseball, i.e AL/NL and the commissioner?

    Everyone seems to be stuck on Andys and Andrews, but isn't there an "i" in the first(?) name? I see a dot above the name.

    Yea, actually, the commissioner on the ball is Leonard Coleman. It's also signed by Billy Williams (of the Cubs & A's) in one of the horse shoes. I went and looked up the autograph of each person that Williams played with whose name began with an "A", but no luck.

  • CubbyCubby Posts: 2,096 ✭
    Another guess is Andy McPhail

    I think thats a brown spot on the ball. Its not blue like the sig.
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Probably an alt.

    Yeah, I think you're right.

    Ball is from mid to late 90's which means the Williams sig was probably when he was a Cubs coach. My guess would be pitcher Anthony Young (Cubs 94-96?), although it really doesn't match up to his sig...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    I never even thought about Williams' coaching career. Thanks to your suggestion, I was able to find out it's Andrew Lorraine. Not the best player, but at least it was figured out! Thanks for the help everyone!
