This was in the middle of an older set of baseball cards/album. The owner, who sold me the book, had no idea who it is/was. Very "unique" signature!

Any guesses?

    Hoff is best remembered for being the oldest living ex-major leaguer at the time of his death in Daytona Beach, Florida at age 107. Hoff died of complications resulting from an accidental fall.

    The photo was obviously autographed by an elderly person since a blue Sharpie was used on such an old image. I would never have imagined that he could have been so old. What a great piece of baseball history. Thanks for the information Shaggy.

    Okay, fine, Hoff it is then.

    I still say there's a good chance that it's Ernest T. Bass.
