Look like Hector Amrbiz of (I think) the Astros:

WOW.  Thank you Steel!  I have no idea how my son got that ball but I think you are dead on!  Thanks so much for solving our mystery.

No problem.

Hey Steel.  I've got to know how you figured that out.  I thought I had tried everything.  Are you familiar with Hector Ambriz for some reason?  You did make my day.

It's Hector Amrbiz and looks good to me.

Hey Paul.  Basically I just saw that the initials appeared to be H.A.  I then looked at a current list of MLB players and only two have those initials.  Did a search on those two and the autograph matched his.  Would've been a lot tougher if he wasn't a current major leaguer but I got lucky.

Well thank you again Steel.  I really did not think it was necessarily a current player, nor do I have any idea how we came upon Hector Ambriz so even seeing that name I'd have dismissed it.  I really appreciate that you found it. 

Monty, thanks for your answer as well.

Happy holidays.
