1997 Twins Team Ball

I recently received a 1997 Twins team ball that I bought on eBay.  This wasn't a great team.  Their record was 68-94 and they were 4th place in the American League Central.  Just one game ahead of the Royals.

Sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it?

There are some interesting signatures on this ball though.  Paul Molitor, Chuck Knoblauch, Dick Such and Todd Walker are the ones I was interested in.

I got this ball for less than the price of a new, unsigned major league ball, so this isn't going to pay the for my retirement.

There were several signatures that I couldn't identify, but the great members over at sportcollectors.net helped me out in no time.
