I got these balls as part of a lot of about 50 and these are the last ones I cannot identify---the first 2 on the top are major league balls and the other 3 are official league---any help would be greatly appreciated--thanks!!!

I'm almost certain the one on the top left is Barry Zito. The one below that looks familiar, but I can't quite place it. Further, the second one from the left on the top row I KNOW I've seen. Somewhere. I think I have the player it looks so familiar. But again, I can't place it.
EDIT: Checked. I'm pretty sure that the one on the top left is Zito.

Not sure how old these are, but bottom left... Greg Gagne?

Tony...that one is definitely not David Ortiz. The bottom left ball isn't Greg Gagne, either. The bottom right ball is "Pat" somebody. Thing is, it's not any one of the following Pats...
-Pat Bourque
-Pat Burrell
-Pat Clements
-Pat Cline
-Pat Combes
-Pat Corrales
-Pat Dobson
-Pat Gillick
-Pat Hentgen
-Pat Jarvis
-Pat Kelly
-Pat Listach
-Pat Magness
-Pat Mahomes
-Pat McGlothin
-Pat Meares
-Patrick Misch
-Pat Neshek
-Pat Osborn
-Pat Patterson
-Pat Perry
-Pat Putnam
-Pat Rapp
-Pat Shea
-Pat Sheridan
-Pat Strange
-Pat Tabler
-Pat Underwood
-Pat Zachry
Can't speak to anyone further.

the majority of the lot are late 1990s, early 2000s--- top middle I thought looked like a Gonzalez or something similar---will keep looking around- thanks guys

yeah- these are probably obscure guys- possibly even minor leaguers--- ive been collecting autographs for 20 years and have close to 10,000 sigs so ive seen lots--- the zito must have been rushed or something because the other one i have is quite different---- i originally thought the top middle did look like an early Big Papi (David Arias Ortiz) but ive never seen him sign like that- hes been very consistent with his sig---oh well---I'll keep looking around

"the zito must have been rushed or something because the other one i have is quite different"
He signed like on that baseball from approximately 1999-early 2002. Is your autograph of him post-2002?

BTW, there's a faint possibility...pretty faint...that the one on the lower left is Ray King.
