Spot the Sig - 9th Inning

We are down to the 9th and final inning of the 2011 edition of Spot the Sig!.  I sincerely hope that everyone has enjoyed the competition.  I apologize that the Autos were not quite as challenging as years past.  I think I snuck in a few too many of the easy ones this time around, but I also believe the competition level has risen since the first STS! clear back in those innocent days of 2008-2009. 
Going into the 9th inning, Plaschzke thy Sweater is Argyle has a two run lead but there are at least six competitors that could take the game.  Anybody that has the bases loaded has a shot, unfortunately Card Buzz - one of the All-Time Great STS! participants and reigning champ cannot win this game despite being in 3rd place and having 2 runs accross.  Buzz simply doesn't have enough runners aboard to claim a victory with one big hit.
The Auto is open to anyone, even if you cannot win the 2011 STS!, you can still be a spoiler.
Here it is - Good Luck to all 
  
Bonus
This is the last inning and there is no bonus competition.  The Final Auto is either a Walk-off Hit or a Final Out.
Thanks to all the participants.  According to my records we had 19 teams enter this years STS! which is a new high and I am very happy about that.  I hope that the game gave everyone a taste of baseball duirng the course of a rather long winter and has everybody ready for the upcoming real Major League season.

Paul Blair?

Gosh, it looks like Pavel Bure, but I don't remember his signature looking like that. But that's my guess.

Jim said...

I'll guess Paul Byrd . . . although I doubt he actually has an autograph cards.

I know who it is but I can't win so I abstain.

Just wanted to throw that out there since this is the first time in forever I've remembered to play.
