I have a Devil Rays at Texas Rangers Line Up Card from 2005 that is similar in style. I will post a pic later....

I wonder if it is computer generated. The letters are perfectly straight even when they are not on the lines. I don't think a human could be that perfect???

If its the Blue Jays dugout, I'd say bench coach Don Wakamatsu. He's been known for the great looking lineup cards for awhile, as are a few others yet still in the game.

I do not think it is computer generated. The names in red denote mid game changes and I doubt that they would print up a new lineup card after each change.

People who write calligraphy or other script can get very good and it looks amazing!

That would make sense as he was with the Rangers from 2003-07 also.

Actually it was then-Mariners bench coach, Ty Van Burkleo who
did those amazing Mariners LU cards. Not sure who did the Blue Jays card in this
thread but Ty's calligraphy handwriting was amazing.

Here's an interesting article> http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...rId=rss_mlb%A0

I've attached a LU card with Ty's amazing handwriting. Before the
I read the article I thought these were machine produced before
every game.

This thread is awesome.

I never knew there were certain coaches and managers who had this skill.

Its good to see someone taking pride in something that is overlooked by everyone.

I want to get my hands on one of these.

For what its worth, Jerry Narron used/uses calligraphy to fill out lineup cards also

i can confirm that it is indeed Don Wakamatsu's handwriting
