Hey friends!  

I acquired this a few months ago on a local online company that serves my local area.  This ball was selling in an estate sale that had a massive collection.  I was hesitant but got it for a decent price.  I have found a few examples of a signature like this, but not many.  I was told it is a "hurried" version of his autograph.  What do you think? (I can't imagine a forgery this bad!)

Thanks in advance!
