Roy Paul Schoendienst and Tom Tatum. Black steel tip pen signatures mostly in the 6-7/10 range with all very readable. Robinson is a very nice 6/10. Ball has evenly soiled somewhat over the years. "LITTLE WORLD SERIES 1946" is written in another hand by the sweet spot. The Little World Series (no relation to the Little League World Series) was the name given to a postseason series between champions of two of the three high minor professional baseball leagues. It became known as the Junior World Series beginning in 1932. Most often it was held between the champions of the International League (IL) and the American Association (AA). In 1946 the Montreal Royals (AA) defeated the Louisville Colonels (IL) four games to two.
