I noticed the difference between his signature on the baseball cards received this year, and that on his responses received in 2004. I can only attribute the difference to age. It is also possible that he had someone else write out and sign the responses for him.

  1. On my opinion he might have someone else writing out for his signs and responses. His true signature is in the first two cards. None the less this is still cool...
