Does anyone recognize this autograph? The baseball is signed by Ted Williams, Lefty Gomez, Jocko Conlon and Happy Chandler. But the remaining autograph is a mystery to me. Thanks in advance for your help.

its a good one - carl yastrzemski. sox again as ted williams. yaz is a hall of famer and last triple crown winner 67'. interesting grouping with the other signatures - someone in the know will tell us how they all ended up on one ball unless signed at different times.
ok - little light work this is a hall of fame ball - Conlon was an umpire and and Chandler was a former Commissioner.
I won this ball at a local church auction. The person donating the ball was a personal friend of Mr. Conlon and had collected the signatures while attending the College World Series.
unreal, so cool!
I forgot to mention that the ball is the official ball of the NCAA Championship and is a Wilson A1001 Raised Seam.
Yup...That's Yaz...the last man to win the triple crown ..back in 1967...
