There is only one other autograph on this ball and it is not another Dodger. Obviously the four players mentioned signed a ton of balls toghether, but this one is specifically in the NLBM and has only one other signature.Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of BaseballComment

I'm thinking it was NOT Cap Anson?Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.
