drobin3739 Verified Member Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 I have a signed baseball from a pitcher but I don't know who it is, It's a pitcher from the late 90's.
IndianaTwin Verified Member Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Well, he obviously wasn't trained by Harmon Killebrew.
gil4 Verified Member Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 I looked through the names from the 90s and the only one I could see it being was Mike Milchin (1996). It takes a lot of squinting to see that name in there, but for the other names even squinting didn't help. There probably aren't a lot of samples to compare it to, so I'm not sure how you would validate it.
drobin3739 Verified Member Posted October 12, 2022 Author Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks for your help, maybe I'll send it to some local sportscasters next.

Could be a minor leaguer from spring training.
Althebum82 Verified Member Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 At first look I thought the first name was Todd. Therefore it could be Todd Ritchie who played with the team in that era and then went on to have a nice career with four other teams. Your other "T" options from that era are Travis Miller and Travis Baptist.
CRF Verified Member Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Are you 100% certain that it was a pitcher?
Musk21 Community Moderator Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 I think it is Todd Walker.
TwinsFan247365 Verified Member Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Definitely Todd Walker.

Rosterman Verified Member Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Todd's signature was all over the place, at times. But it is a pretty close match.
AceWrigley Verified Member Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Todd Walker, the one-legged second baseman.
