I looked up Mark Ohlms on google and came up with Yankees 1923- 1995
I got you. Mark Ohlms and Kenny Greer were teammates for only two seasons. In 1989 with the Prince William Cannons, the New York Yankees' Low-A affiliate (at the time) and in 1990 with the Fort Lauderdale Yankees, their High-A affiliate (at the time). I'm fairly certain that this ball is from the 1990 Fort Lauderdale Yankees. In addition to Greer and Ohlms (two pitchers) there is another pitcher named Ramon Manon, which may look like "Marion". In addition there is a a fourth pitcher named Moose Marris, which may look like "Coach Morris."
Ohlms, Marris, and Manon never made it to the Majors. Greer did, pitching one game with the Mets in 1993 and 8 with the Giants in 1995 (1-2 career record with a 4.85 ERA).
Here is a link to the entire 1990 Fort Lauderdale Yankees roster, in case there are more signatures you want to check out: http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/team.cgi?id=18214
how much would it be worth?
I hate to be the barer of bad news, but a ball signed by a bunch of minor leaguers, especially in sub-par condition, is likely worth, well, one baseball. But hey, you can use it for batting practice!
Thank You
very impressive!
Mark Ohlms is my father!
