1947 Cardinals. Looking for info

[caroline miller]

We've just inherited two baseballs in plastic protectors. One is dated 1947 and the other is undated. Stan Musial's autograph is on both and provided the clue to the Cardinals. We are able to make out most of the other autographs from looking up the team roster, but there are a number of names on the balls that don't fit the roster. We assume these are someone associated with the team, but have no idea if this would have been a common practice for non-players to sign a ball. Would appreciate it if someone is willing to help us figure out who the other names are. :confused: :happy:

Thanks a lot!

Tom and Caroline Miller

[shoreyart]

are you able to post pics of them?

[caroline miller]

Yes, but it may take a bit. Got lots going on this week.

Thanks for the quick response.

Can you list the names?

[caroline miller]

On the odd chance my posting actually got sent, accidentally, here is the signature I was going to attach as a sample.

If it got lost, I will redo the listing.


The name appears to be Terry - Facik. The ball is dated 1947. Other autograph is Stan Musial and what appears to be an imprinted Ford C. Frick, Pres.

One ball dated 1947.

Can't find data on Terry / Gerry

Other Ball has several ink-pen notations that are fading:

CARDS BOSTON
43

and

WORLD SERIES * 1946

Autographs found in 1943, 1946, and 1947 rosters:

Harry Brecheen
Del Rice
Whitey Kurowski
Stan Musial
Erv Dusak
Terry Moore
Enos Slaughter
Harry Walker
Red Schoendienst

Unknowns:

Eddie Dyon / Dyer ?
Howard Pacciet ?

Can provide photos of the unknowns if that helps.

Also

Under the imprint of

Official National League

Ford C. Frick, Pres. (However, this looks like an imprint)

The autographs appear to be fountain pen, ball pen, possible pencil, and Whitey's is done with two different pens and colors.

That's it.

Thank you for any help you can offer with the identifications.

Yes, I can see that now. Very small, fine writing.
