I picked this cool ball up some time ago. 10 x total autographs on a Bobby Brown baseball w/ Indians logo on it.

I am amassing a large PSA/DNA auto authentication order to submit this coming week. I was just trying to calcualte the fees for this ball when I realized I do not know all the players that signed it.

Some possible/potential 1990s solid players may be here...Manny, Jack Morris, Eddie Murray, Omar Vizquel, Kenny Lofton, Nagy, Mesa (deceased), Albert Belle, Denny Martinez, Jim Thome, etc. However, I can't read many of these and I have little experience with 1990s baseball autos.

1994 Indians Roster

Please take a look at the pics. Who am I missing? Anyone familiar with these guys?

I have tried to fill in some of the blanks in the text above each photo. Let me know if I am correct or way off.

Thank you for your help.

    #6 looks like Dave Winfields Signature, and he only played for the indians in 1995.

    May or may not be worth anything to the identity discussion here, but the ball from an estate of a famous latino sports doctor...he provided sports medicine services the for Indians and other pro teams.

    And I think you are right on with Ramirez Mesa and Vizquel

    After the Winfield identification, I edited my theory out, thinking it was wrong. But maybe there's at least some correlation.
    I do think Baerga is correct- just looked at his auto on some things on ebay and it looks right (assuming those are correct of course)

    I think everything here so far is correct namewise. Just 9 and 10 are still unidentified

    #10 is Sandy Alomar Jr.
  • cardcountrycardcountry Posts: 571 ✭✭✭
    #9 kinda looks like Roberto Alomar. Or maybe Ruben Amaro?

    That was my first thought, but his signatures always (when I've seen them) End with a "P" looking letter, and the top of his R doesn't connect with the "Back" of the R. He does an R in 2 strokes not one, like this signature is.
