Not true! DiMaggio died in 1999. He signed cases of new baseballs for friends, families, and promotional purposes related to the Joe DiMaggio Childrens Hospital, and Star Island Condos. There are plenty of "new" balls that can be in circulation.
JacobyStealsHome has the right idea. What does the ball stamp look like, who was the commissioner of baseball, or league president stamped on the ball.
BTW: The sig looks good to me! (If the ball is right)

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
