So here is another find deep within the pits of the family garage. It has some sweet names but overall much more sentimental value than actual. If i am not mistaken, this was a signed ball from the 1987 Equitable Old-Timers game at Arlington Stadium. Several were signed and put in goody bags for various sponsors. It's kind of a hodge-podge; but nonetheless, some recognizable blasts from the past.18 sigs total
The quality is not great and what is funny, is that even a few of the sigs are in Sharpie.. All in all, I cant complain..Many of these gentlemen are no longer with us...

Lou Burdette(in sharpie at top)
Birdie Tebbets
Mickey Vernon
Davey Williams

Dave Nelson
Johnny Mize-HOF
Jocko Conlan-HOF
Dock Ellis

Enos Slaughter-HOF (looks better than the scan)
This is the one I cannot figure out----"Frank" I can clearly make out and last name looks like Becker or Booker but having trouble deciphering this one.
George Schepps

Billy Herman-HOF
Duke Sims is under this, very faint sig though

I thought you were uncovering the Ark of the Covenant in there. :) Awesome find! I like the Gomez, as well.

I don't have the right tools for that kind of unearthing; but you never know...I'm still having trouble locating some stuff...Might be time to call in Dr. Jones to raid the Ark!!

Thanks a lot guys...
