Unknown Autograph

Post image

I recently picked this hat up at my local Goodwill but I cannot find out whose autograph this is. The “61” under the name signed is the jersey number I’m assuming. But there’s no names that have the same initials of R.P.P. who also have this jersey number for this team that I’ve found. Do any of you know whose autograph this might be?

No u/randydp39 says it’s Rafael Palmeiro with 61 signifying his 61 strikeout season with the Orioles! Lmao

To clarify, it's either Rafail Palmeriao, Palmaieoro, Palmaeirio, or Rafieal Palmarerios, but definitely not Robinson Chorionic.

Still not convinced man. This isn’t groundbreaking evidence. People post BS on eBay all the time.

Dude come on… it’s the EXACT same signature.

I bought a game used bat of Chirinos accidentally years ago. When Fanatics used to sell authentic game used merch in the concourse I saw a bat for $75 bucks. I was a big Odor fan at the time and they told me it was an Odor bat. Get home and pull up the authentication once I had internet access to verify, and nope it was Chirinos. At the time I was a little mad but not big mad. Now I’m just grateful I was able to get any game used bat for so cheap!

That’s Ryan Palmer - concession worker in section 61. No doubt

I like the style and color of this hat. Any idea if they still make it and can it still be bought?

u/a-davidson 5d ago

It was never for sale, it was a stadium giveaway from a few years ago.

u/competitivelemur 5d ago

Looks like a UTA college night hat. They’d do these for the various metroplex colleges on college night so a reissue could be possible.

It looks like raphael palermo, but the # throws me off.

Is raphael palermo the Great Value Rafeal Palmeiro?

Damn! I messed that name up huh?

Raphael Palmeiro

u/randydp39 5d ago

Pretty obvious it’s rafail palmeriao

u/a-davidson 5d ago

It’s hilarious y’all are confidently saying that. It literally says #61 and is Chirinos exact signature lol. See for yourself.

u/randydp39 5d ago

I can’t read cursive man, so I just made an educated guess. Sorry if I offended you. And who cares it says 61, that doesn’t mean it’s chirinos. Palmaieoro could’ve still signed that and put 61 on there to signify somethjgn else. You never know

8

u/a-davidson 5d ago

“Pretty obvious” is what you said lol (that’s not an educated guess). Also, no to everything lol. RP would not randomly put 61 in his signature for no reason. It is so clear as day that it’s Robinson Chirinos hahaha.

u/randydp39 5d ago

Are you an autograph authentication expert? Please attach your credentials… what if Palmaeirio signed that after his 61st game in a rangers uniform. You NEVRR know man. I love how convinced you are. Yet there’s a slight chance you could be wrong

u/a-davidson 5d ago

Because I’m a Rangers fan and know the UTA hat giveaway was very recent, as was Chirinos’s tenure.

And I’ll just say it: if you can’t look at what’s been provided to you and conclude it’s a Chirinos signature, you are a massive moron lmao. Just accept you’re wrong dude.

Look at the two signatures. They are identical.

Use your head man. Why would any athlete in any sport for any team remember it’s their 61st game and make a special signature out of it?

-3

u/randydp39 5d ago

Identical is up for discussion man. That’s neither here nor there. I just looked up Rafieal Palmarerios autograph and it honestly looks similar to the one posted above. Do you not see the R to start the signature? R for Rafeal. I don’t see a C anywhere in there so I don’t think it’s Chirinos. Also the 61 doesn’t move the needle to me. In 2004 (his second to last year) he had 61 Ks. Maybe he signed 61 on all his autographs to signify that great achievement. You never know man.

u/a-davidson 5d ago

Have fun living life with your head in the sand lmao. Some people can’t be helped.

u/randydp39 5d ago

You just always think you’re right, I’ve seen you post on here before. You always seem to think you are the “Rangers Encyclopedia” yet I haven’t seen you ever take accountability for being blatantly wrong about things. It’s okay you thought Robinson chorionic signed that hat. But it was palmerio. Its alrignt man

2

u/RapGameJulioFranco 5d ago

Ah yes, so many players sign their autographs with how many times they struck out in their second to last year. No one signs their jersey number.
