Three Signatured Balls...I don't know who they are?

I have a couple autos I don't recognize and the third i believe is Santiago but the auto looked different so I'm not sure.

I appreciate it if you all could tell me for sure who they are...and if authentic? Thanks, Gary.

The top ball is Dick Radatz. Looks authentic to me.

Bottom ball is Benito Santiago. I have 2 sigs from him. This looks like an early sig. His signature changed between the two I have. This looks closer to the first one I have from him. The later sig had much more to it. Dont have access to upload pics but shouldnt be hard to find good examples of Benito.

I think its good to.

Still looking at the middle ball.

Not real sure about the middle ball. Going to give you a guess anyway. My guess..........Hugh Luby.

I dont have any signatures of him. He is deceased now 20+ years.

Nice call Terrior.

That ball had me stumped. My guess was a hail mary.

I have an advantage, Rick. I grew up in Boston!  Recognized it, and the Radatz, immediately!
