Opinion on "different" autographs - adding middle name?
So, I've got the opportunity to buy an autographed baseball that is signed with the players first,middle, and last name. Typically, he just signs first and last. Seems cool and unique to me. I guess I'm just looking for any opinions on whether that's actually that unique and/or cool. Appreciate any responses.

A few players will do that edpecially for Stat balls. Ripken, Rose, Schmidt, and Nolan Ryan come to mind. They are usually worth a few extra dollars. Would you buy a George Herman Ruth ball?

For a while during his career, Lou Whitaker of the Tiger signed "Louis Rodman Whitaker Jr.".

In regards to the question.........The more a player adds the better I believe.

How do you go about asking a player at a free signing *After a game, before one*, asking a player for his full name.

Back in 1993, I asked Cal Ripken Sr. to sign his full name (Calvin Edwin Ripken) on the sweet spot of a ball & he told me it was the first time anyone had ever asked him to sign that way...........
