Default Autographed baseball (Boggs, Ripken, 3 others)


This baseball came from my Uncle's estate some years ago. It has five signatures
on it, including what looks like Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken. You can see photos
of the signatures he

So I have a few questions. Keep in mind I know hardly anything about this, as
I am only a casual fan of the sport.

1. Can you identify the signatures?

2. Is it possible to identify an occasion or other info about how this
baseball came to be signed by these men? Is it common or not to have a
baseball signed by members of different teams? We thought at first that
perhaps it came from an all-star game since it had players from different
teams but then we thought that perhaps my Uncle went to a game between Boston
and Baltimore and managed to get the signatures of players from both sides.

3. Didn't Cal Ripken usually add the "Jr." to his signature/autograph?

4. When we first considered the possible worth of this baseball, we thought
it might be pretty high. On second thought, however, I suppose when one
considers all the autograph sessions after all the baseball games all season
long, that these things are a dime a dozen. Are we now, with that assumption,
in the . . . ballpark?

Thanks!
