Identify the Autograph!

I bought one of the Giants mystery bags at the game and inside was a signed ball. Well I can't read the sig and I don't recognize it. I'm hoping someone here will be able to tell me or help out.

Here's a pic of the ball, sorry if its a bit low quality:

Re: Identify the Autograph!
i'm going to venture two guesses:

Jesus H. Christ

or

Deivi Cruz

seriously that first name looks like Buster though.

this is a split signature of solidarity for Palestine and the current Giants "team".

We know it's not a Giant because the number is 24

I know that guy, he is the Ball Park Parking Lot Attendant, super cool dude, Edy Fintry. He signed one for me too.

Turn it upside down, hold it up to the mirror, read it backwards, now what does it say? Paul is Dead.

It's Pedro Feliz, isn't it?

Re: Identify the Autograph!
Yeah, and Pedro only signs bats, pictures, or baseball cards. He doesn't take balls.

Looks like Lu Fu_try to me. It's really cool, actually. I've never seen an underscore in a name before.

Re: Identify the Autograph!
Oh, classic manuever. I can't believe I didn't realize it sooner.

Do you have any idea how many times I've written my number or e-mail on a ball and stuffed it in a courtesy gift bag for some unsuspecting hottie?

It's just a veteran technique, sure to net loads of ass.

Re: Identify the Autograph!
It's not Franklin. I have an autograph from him. He writes a very pronounced "W".

Ok, one of my friends figure out the mystery autograph belongs to Jesse Foppert. I don't know why I didn't think of him.

I guess that's a "34" at the end then.

Hmm. I'm not sure the case is closed. Unless this is forged, or Foppsy changed his signature.

Sooooo, what else was in the Mystery Bag and How much did you pay for it? If you don't mind me asking?

Re: Identify the Autograph!
It cost $20 all going to the Junior Giants. Some of them have signed baseballs in them, others have bobbleheads. I've gotten a Lon Simmons bbh and Mo Alou before. They usually include an issue of Giants Magazine, some JG bracelets, their cookbooks and random items pertaining to baseball and the giants(baseball cards, autographed pics, minor league items, and this year they also include one of the posters from the giveaways).

Re: Identify the Autograph!
I pulled out a signed baseball in one of mine and had the same problem with ID'ing the signature. I thought it was Omar. I was so happy and everyone around is wanting to know what you got so I asked the gal behind the counter if she knew. She didn't know but the other employee knew all of them. Is it Omar I asked? Sheepishly he said ... No it's Marvin Benard. That got the whole crowd laughing.....
