If you found the Baseball or do not know its origin you should question if the signatures are stamped on, or hand signed. Stamped signature baseballs are commonly sold at the ballparks. They are collectible, and souvenir baseballs from the 1967/68 era can sell for about $20.-$35. in near/nint condition.
With a stamped signature baseball the ink would be too consistent. When you sign your name, you use different angles, and pressure as you sign. This is more evident when signing with sharpie. Some parts of the signature will be darker, or lighter depending on the pressure you put on the pen. With a stamped signature it is usually all the same density, and thickness. When you cross a "T", or at the end of your signature you might tail off as you come off the page. A stamped signature might start, and end with no variation at all.
If the signatures are hand signed you would have to determine what year the baseball is from. If the baseball is signed by players from different years it could have a lower value based on the key signatures.
A 1967 Boston Red Sox Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Yastrzemski, Lonborg, Howard, Lyle is worth about $600.-$900. A 1968 Boston Red Sox Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Yastrzemski, Howard, Lyle is worth about $450.-$600. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.
To figure out what year the baseball is from visit the Boston Red Sox team signed baseball price guide link located below (Related Links).

If the signatures are hand signed. Find signatures on line that have been properly authenticated, and compare them to yours. If you feel comfortable that it can be authentic then proceed to have them authenticated by a reputable company.
An autograph that is not authenticated by a creditable company could sell at half the price or less than one that is. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentic (JSA). Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one. It may sound odd but in some cases PSA/DNA, and JSA authenticated signatures may sell higher than a Letter of authenticity from an unknown or less trusted authenticator that witnessed the signing even though PSA/DNA, and JSA did not. It's just a matter of collectors trust, and collectors will pay more for it.
