    Need help identifying autographed ball. Anyone?

    Hello everyone, I'm in need of some help. Found this along with a few other things in a storage unit (auction) and wanted to see if any of you on the forums might be able to recognize or help me figure out what players have signed this ball.

    What I know: So far I know it has been signed by 3 KC Royal players and it looks to have been around the early 1990's. Picture below to see if any of you can help me out with the ones I'm not sure of.


    This one I haven't been able to figure out^


    Top signature is Mike Macfarlane second signature is Brian Mcrae as for the third one I am clueless.


    The top one is Frank White and I'm not sure of the other(s)


    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Read the goddamn post before you respond.. I can't believe I ever write more than a paragraph. That seems like a good sign Drink, but I couldn't help but notice the difference in the loop at the end and the lack of the s'?

    If I want to read 5 words and respond, I will. Are you that big of a nerd that it got you mad people responded w/o reading everything?


    Flame, it is Rico Rossy. Don't question the loop. Common sense will tell you it looks like the name Rico Rossi and he was on the Royals.

    Bingo, we have a winner! Pretty sure it is Brent Mayne. I was once a big auto hound growing up and went to Haines City for Royals spring training 3 times in the early 90's. The old Board Walk and Baseball complex.

    Holy shit it's a genuine,certified,electrified,grade A Rico Rossy autographed ball!

    this ball could probably fetch a cool 5-10$ if you found the right buyer. That buyer being Rico Rossy's mother, of course.

    Yeah I know that one, some illegible scribble by some idiot who didn't bother to learn decent penmanship!Seriously though, You need to post a better pic and provide more information, ie, what team, where you got it, year or season acquired, etc.
