New Group: ID these signed balls please
 

Members here have been helpful in the past in identifying signatures. It's also kind of a fun challenge. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinny

The only one that seems very obvious is in the middle row, far right. Ken Boyer.

Too bad every player can't write in cursive like Mariano Riviera.[/QUOTE]We ruled out Boyer and wonder if it’s Kevin Brown.

That K on the one sure looks like Ken. One more try. The middle row, far left.
Danny McDevitt.

I am going to give up. Are all of these baseballs from a specific era or they just a big mix? Have fun.

Just spitballing here: Rusty Kuntz is the top row second from left. Perhaps also second row second from left.

Bottom row, third from left: I had a dog named Fluffy that damned well near got close to being able to sign her own name. Where did you get that ball?

Those are tough. What baseballs are they on? I would guess they are no older than the 1990s as most autos before that are pretty legible in comparison.

That is definitely not Ken Boyer or Kevin Brown. My guess is these are most likely minor leaguers. For example, there are only 6 players in history with the name Ken and last name that starts with B. The most recent is Ken Brett who last played in 1981. That is definitely not Ken Brett.

That is definitely Danny McDevitt. Nice catch. :)!

That upper row gold sig looks like Jaret Wright.

Using Google Gemini for this, but it still takes digging.

I believe that is filmmaker Ken Burns.

Also, bottom right looks like a rushed Orlando Hernandez.

The Ken ball in the middle row, right to me is Ken Burns, the filmmaker/documentarian. The loop in the K looks like the auto's he's got in 2019 Topps Archives.

Bottom row first ball. Could that be an early signature or a rushed signature of Greg Maddux? The first letter of his last name is signed in a very distinctive way and this auto is very similar. The last letter also tails down like in his normal signature. The first name is what is throwing me off though. He normally signs what looks like a lower case cursive "H". This does not look like that. I don't know of any other players that have the last name that looks like that.

Got busy, thanks everyone for the tips and thoughts. The Ken Burns ball is a Major League ball that I should have mentioned before so it couldn't have been Boyer. #sorry
We did wonder about an early Maddux so it's good to get those added opinions. We will be sending the better ones to JSA.
Thanks,
Vinny :)!

Bottom row, last ball on the right I believe is Dioner Navarro.
