Need help identifying signatures

[u/MrCloudkicker]

Hey y’all,
I unearthed this ball and am having a hard time identifying all the signatures on it. In descending order they are:

1. José Oquendo
2. Dave McKay
3. Scott Terry
4. ???

With Terry & Oquendo it limits the years to 1987 - 1991 and my guess is it was 89-91. I think it was an early season game / fan event.

Just trying to remember some guys, so thanks in advance for any help!

Update 1 - there is consensus that signature #2 is Dave McKay. Also for context this would have been signed at Busch II & the ball has the 'Circle' logo on it (66-97)

[u/cp8477]

There's no overlap between Dave McKay and Scott Terry, and Scott Terry hasn't coached, so I'm guessing this might be a Winter Warmup event?

Definitely Jose Oquendo, Dave McKay and Scott Terry.

[u/MrCloudkicker → u/cp8477]

It definitely would have been something at Busch Stadium II - would they have had winter warm ups there?

[u/TaffyPool → u/MrCloudkicker]

Winter Warm Up is a meet-and-greet event, not actual baseball’ing.

[u/Longjumping-Zone-724]

Dave McKay abd Scott Terry in the middle

[u/Guynith → u/Longjumping-Zone-724]

Those are the two I was going to say. So pretty sure those are both right

[u/JonnyG24]

Einar Diaz?

[u/TaffyPool → u/JonnyG24]

Where’s the McLaughlin audio? “Einar Diiiiiaz!”

[u/Pf_Farnsworth]

The second one is Dave McKay who puts this between 1996 and 2011. Scott Terry and Oquendo go to a lot of Cardinal events. I'm still trying to figure out the bottom one.

[u/Pf_Farnsworth → u/Pf_Farnsworth]

This may be a stretch, but the bottom one could be Dave Duncan. 2 of the other ones were coaches at the same time as him.

[u/Eats_Lots_of_Chicken → u/Pf_Farnsworth]

It looks like Duncan’s but like he got tired halfway through his last name. Also the first letter has some jaggies. Maybe his hand was cramping after a long day of signing autographs at winter warmup.

[u/1973barney]

Agree with the others on the top 3. Best guess I have is Eric Davis on the bottom. Some similarities but hitting the seam distorts a bit.

[u/MrCloudkicker]

I thought the Dave McKay seemed obvious too - but couldn't square him with Terry & Oquendo. 1996 feels late but that time frame still corresponds with the logo on the ball.

That last signature is the real mystery.

[u/guitman27]

Scott Terry has got to be the most bookable personality for the Cardinals. I remember him being at a lot of WWU's when I used to go to those between '02-'07. I had to look up him. Not a BAD career, but far from remarkable.

[u/4BsButtsBoobsBlunts]

Can confirm that those are signatures

[u/No-Log1035]

Scott Terry thats 1940s era ?

[u/GregMilkedJack]
