Card Identification Forum

I apologize if this is in the wrong spot, but I wasn't sure where to ask this and figured this was the best place to get an answer. I was going through and cataloging my collection of autographed baseballs and came across this one which I couldn't make out. I tried a reverse Google images search, but came up empty. Any thoughts? I don't believe it's a Hall of Famer (which is most of my collection), so I'm assuming it's someone from the 70's or 80's who I just liked when I was growing up. Any help?

Looks like Joe Pepitone

It's definitely not Pepitone.  Someone with the initials PF.  Pepitone does make his P's similarly.

That's his t not an f

Now that you say that, I'm pretty sure Pepitone is correct. I've gotten most of my autos from various shows in Chicago, and he probably signed so many Cubs items there that he just went with the #8 inscription for his time with them. Thanks for the quick responses!

What band did he tour with? Was it Stryper or Warrent?

Why number 8 if Pepitone? 

That was his uniform number with the Cubs.

Oh! Should have done my research. I saw the other ball and looked on Google and saw 25 but didn't look deeper.

Here's a complete list of all players who wore #8

From looking up Joe Pepitone's autograph, I'm fairly certain that's who this is.
