I don't think it's a font, but there are some fonts like this. Kestrel would be similar, but I don't think it's available in digital format. You might also try Leslie Cabarga's Casey.

Another one I suggest to people who want the baseball style swashes is Letterhead Fonts "Pilsner", which comes with a whole font set of swash shapes you can add to the names. (Looks like Casey might have some too. That was a new one for me Mark.)

Letterhead also has one called Ephemera, with swashes, but the letter style is much older and fancier-looking.

I recently purchased Pilsner for use in a magazine layout. The story was about minor league baseball, and the font and swashes worked well. They required minor manual tweaking, but got me very close to the old-school baseball logo look very quickly.
