That looks like some weird alien script. Definitely not of this earth.

You know who has a really weird autograph, though? Willie Mays. I have an autographed photo of him by my desk, and it really looks nothing like his name. Here’s one of his from Google Image Search:

Yup
When I got my ball back after he signed it, my girlfriend said “That’s not a W!” Are you sure that’s Willie Mays?"
I literally did a facepalm right there.

I too have a Mays ball, but the spacing between the first two characters is more like the ball above that jcb posted.

Pretty sure Willie’s autograph is purposely weird. At some point people were selling counterfeit autos and Willie had to change it to be more unique.

I have two Willie Mays autographs obtained personally. One from the 80s & one from 2002. Completely different.
Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.

Mine is from the early/mid 90s – it looks similar to the one above.

My 02 ticket has that signature, but my 80s picture you can actually read it as ‘Willie Mays’.

I know that JT Snow’s autograph and signature are completely different. The misses has the whole collection apparently through the years.

I have a couple balls signed by old A’s teams. I can recognize maybe 3 of the signatures. I also have a hat signed by a bunch of players during training camp. I can figure out who 2 of them are (niether on the team the following year) and I’m pretty sure half of them were cut after signing my cap.

The training camp hat was a Dallas Cowboys training camp.

That must have been kind of awkward to request.

I have a signed Tex Clevenger card from the 60’s. I think he signed it in the 90’s, but I still think that’s pretty cool.

Yeah, I have a Villalonal card that is actually signed by him, it seriously looks like my 2 year old son signed it.
My favorite is my Omar Vizquel ball that I actually got to play some catch with Omar before he signed it. That was a pretty decent day.
Lincecum’s is pretty bad too.

When did you play catch with Omar?
My buddy was yelling at RBeck to “throw him the heater” one game at the ’Stick and Beck turned around and fired a fastball into the right field Family Pavillion section to him during BP. It was a perfect toss.
