Had this ball signed at Buck O'Neil Day at Kaufman Stadium back in the early 2000's. (They played the Twins in a weekend series) I've tried to research a roster, even sent a request to the Royals to find the exact list of players. No luck at this time. I've used the N**** League archives on Wikpedia to try and identify as many as I can, but I'm stuck. Attaching pictures of the ball and the names that (I think) I've been able to identify. Any help would be truly appreciated.
Here is what I have.
Ernie Johnson (Ernest) P ; KC Monarchs 1949-53
Art "Superman" Pennington , OF; Chicago Giants, Pittsburg Crawfords, Mexican League , 1940-50
Bill Bell (William) KC Monarch, Birmingham Black Barrons 1949-54
Jesse Rogers c; KC Monarchs 1953-54
George Altman OF; KC Monarchs 1955
Ulysses Hollomon P; Birmingham Black Barons, Baltimore Elite Giants; 1948-1956
?? Diego Segui -can't find any record of playing int he N**** Leagues although he did play with the KC A's
newly identified-Thanks to "brcdad"
Bob Motley - Umpire
Bill Van Buren - 1953 Monarchs
The others are pretty much unknown. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a ball with Buck Oneil's signature by itself.
