The Score on Ted Savage – 5.5
The is another one in some recent oldies but goodies that I found to send out. In fact this might be the last. I think its interesting that he signed the card vertically when there was space to sign horizontally. He joins guys like Jim Leyland and Tony LaRussa in doing that. One little quirk in his signature I see is the line through the “S.” I haven’t looked to see if he does that consistently, but if he does maybe we need to call him Ted “Money” Savage.
Overall, I think he has an OK signature. It reminds me a bit of my grandfathers and some other older guys that have singed for me. I like the little quirk too. Ultimately it’s middle of the road in my book, and the card I gave him to use has a crease as well.
