My problem is that everyone used exactly the same pen, it is VERY well used and most of the the autos are very formal, such as Jim "Catfish" Hunter. But I also think that some of them could be good.

Looks like a printed ball. The Fingers looks like none I've seen.

it doesnt feel like a souvenir ball, and why wouldnt there be an actual A's logo on it and look at the way the date is written and smudged off the ball

Definitely a souvenir ball with printed, not signed, facsimilie signatures. Someone may have added a date to it the day they went to the game.
Similar to this 1950's one, without any logos...

One of the easiest ways to tell a pre-printed ball is the stitching goes through the signatures.

No it's not. It's exactly what Fingers' autograph looked like 40 years ago.
Most peoples' signature changes over many decades.
Here's an example from his 1971 Topps card:
