Favorite/Least Favorite Signatures

[E.Banks#14]

A lot of signatures are just scribbles, but some players' are high quality.

I'd like to know some of your favorite and least favorite autographs (base your decisions on the quality of the signature, not the skills of the player).

Top 4 Favorites: Felix Hernandez, Ernie Banks, Yogi Berra, and Fernando Valenzuela
4766

Bottom 4: Greg Maddux (Worst), Manny Ramirez, Mark Mulder, and Frank Thomas
4768

[South Side Hitmen]

Some of my favorites:

most of the newer signatures just look like chicken scratches, or scribbles lol.

Jay was a good player with a good popularity in and out of the Seattle area.

Sweet signature too.

These are all from my personal collection. These are all HOF'ers, but I also have others that look really nice that I don't have scans of.

I don't have a picture on hand (all my autographs are packed up for our upcoming move), but So Taguchi signs in English and Japanese, which is really cool. I post it once it's unpacked.

[Gashouse6]

I don't have the pictures, but Juan Pierre and Willie Mays have pretty bad autographs. Willie's was just a scribble, and Juan's was like J-P-.

[RobertHConner]

Mays must have come a long way-my signed ball is well-signed. I love the older Barry Bonds sig. The new one is easy to read, but it lacks character. Monte Irvin's is no beauty. Stargell & McCovey have cool sigs. Just looked at my Mays ball, it is rather ugly after all (but I still dig it).

[SouthSideChamps05]

I'd have to say freddy garcia has the worst signature. It looks like it's upside down, and i have no clue how that is freddy garcia. heres a pic-

[the pyromaniac]

Rafael Belliard
Ron Hodges
the late Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe
Terry Pendleton, especially before 2003
Bobby Cox
Glenn Hubbard
CJ Nitkowski
Javier Vazquez
Alejandro Pena
Gene Clines
the late Johnny Oates


Coolest looking sigs that you can't necessarily read:

Luis Gonzalez
Garret Anderson
Damion Easley
Joe Girardi
Mark Grace


Worst:

Johnny Damon
Adam Kennedy
the late Ken Caminiti
Harold Baines
Jay Howell
Ben Broussard

[kite2100]

My Best looking is Clint Barmes + So Taguchi, sorry no piz
The worst is Matt Holliday and Rafael Palmiero

[Tigerfan1974]

As you might guess, my fav is Al Kaline.
He always signs nice and clean and clear.
I have dozens of his autos.

[The Commissioner]

Charles Gehringer has to have one of the nicest signatures ever.

The wosrt I ever saw was Mariners' prospect Ryan Anderson. It looked like it was produced by a two year old on crack.

I agree. My 1 year old daughter can write as well. (But she's not on crack!)
