Best Pen/Marker for signing baseballs?

Just looking for personal opinions, I'm going to get a bunch of balls signed at the All-Star Fanfest this afternoon. I am pretty sure ball point pens work the best...feel free to correct me if you know something better.

Thanks!

For the planned signings, yes I'll agree, but I'll also be at the Futures Game and some other events before the All-Star game where I may be fortunate enough to get a few IP sigs.

In that case I would say a blue BIC med. ballpoint would be your best bet.
Just get it nice and "broken in" so you don't get skips in the sigs.

Yep, bic BLUE ballpoint looks best.
Also get official MLB baseballs and not crappy knockoffs. Don't even waste your time having guys signing crappy non ORMLB balls. Also make sure you tell them where to sign, otherwise they will side panel most of the time.

Now is there a way to get rid of ink on an official MLB ball?
