On August 27, 2022, we saw the Frisco Roughriders play a home game against the Wichita Wind Surge. We were sitting right by the Roughriders' bullpen, and had a bunch of relief pitchers sign our tickets. About five or ten minutes before the game started, some old guy (he must have been an usher or something) came up to us and said that it was too close to gametime to have them sign. After the game, however, we were let onto the field and had some more of their players sign for us. I was lucky enough to get Jonathan Ornelas to sign my ticket. Ornelas, who hit leadoff that game, was having himself a nice season in AA: a .299 batting average and 84 runs scored in 123 games. He may have a chance to make it to the Texas Rangers before too long. He's 22 years old and constantly improving. That's what makes autograph collecting so exciting. You never know who may be great.
Ornelas's is "JO 12"
Although Ornelas might be the most exciting player to sign the ticket, it was signed by four other players, including Joe Corbett. I also suspect that it was initialed by Tim Brennan. The one signature that's baffling me is the bottom left one. I can make out initials of G-C, and a uniform number of 18. However, this doesn't seem to line up with any of the Roughriders' players. Can anyone help me?
