OT : Does anyone know who this is???

[xpress34]

Hello all -

I would post this in the AUTO section, but I know it would just sit there with few looks...

I was just going through and doing some new sheets listing the panels of all of my multi signed balls and I just cannot figure this one signature out...

It is on a 2000 Yankees Team Ball - I have verified 34 of the 35 autos on the ball and researched every player and coach from the 2000 team that I haven't verified and I can't find any autos that match this one...

Any thoughts?







Thanks!!!

The attachments below list the entire 2000 Yankees Roster as well as who I have verified on the ball...

Thanks!

Not an auto expert but Ted Williams maybe??

Far from Ted Williams.

Chris, I have searched for about 30 minutes tyring to help. Came up empty handed. My guess is maybe is was a Spring Training Non Roster invitee?

Not a Yankee in 2000 but it sort of looks like a Tom Gordon rushed sig?

Just a quick guess off the top of my head without looking at the actual roster - it looks like a rushed Tino Martinez

My gut tells me a rushed Tino as well.

I was thinking maybe Tommy John???

Yeah, I know it isn't Williams. 1st, he never signed that way (especially that close - 2 years - before his death) and 2nd, he would NEVER have signed a YANKEES team ball!!!

Unfortunately, I have no way to search previous ST Non Roster Invitee rosters... But, I like where your head is at...

At least I was able to verify all of the main guys:

Clemens
Pettitte
Posada
Jeter
Torre
Rivera
Martinez

I mean, I'm not going to cry over not knowing ONE guy out of 35 on a ball from their LAST Championship Year...
