Signed Ball Autograph Help!!

A_Pharis · Nov 7, 2014

It's a softball I got in a box full of baseball items. The only indicator on it is a child's handwriting that says " BRAVES 3/<something>/1998"
Opening day for them was the 31st, but it definitely doesn't say "31".

It could be a preseason game, and it could be their opponents. You will awarded 1 hearty "Thanks!" for any help.

I may have a few more to ask about, too.

The only one I have identified in the box, so far, is a 1998 Braves partial team ball with:

Andruw Jones
Keith Lockhart
Javy Lopez
Rudy Seanez
Walt Weiss (badly faded)
John Smoltz (niiicccee)

My first thought was David Segui, but comparing it to other samples,
Doesn't seem right, sorry I couldn't be of more help

Next up is a baseball labeled (in a child's handwriting) "Cardinels (sic) 3/27/98"

Looking for the bottom two on the first panel (Sweet spot is Tony LaRussa!!!)
Second pic, I am looking for the lowest sig (Below Mark DeJohn - the bullpen coach)
Third Pic, I am looking for the top sig (above Carney Lansford)

Also in the box were 3 St. Lucie Mets signed balls from the 96-97 time frame with no real notables.

def. alan benes i have several of his autos

he was injured and did not play in 98 and was out most of 99, could be why you cant find him on roster sheets.
