My Mission

My Mission: I am mailing out baseball cards and a letter to one player on each major league team asking for autographs. This experiment is to see which teams and players will respond to my request for autographs. Follow my posts to see how the Autograph Baseball Card Experiment plays out.
Phase 2: I will be sending out a letter and a baseball card to each Player Relations or Player Personnel Director of each team asking for autographs. Each Player Personnel Director will receive an envelope addressed to them and a baseball card of one of the player on the team. Hopefully, the Player Relations or Player Personnel Director will get the player to sign the baseball card and send it back to me.

Two Letters Returned...

Today I received 2 letters in the mail from Jonathan Papelbon of the Philadelphia Phillies and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers. Both sent back my cards unsigned. The Phillies sent me a player card of Papelbon with a pre-printed autograph on it but said that their schedule was too busy for autographs. The letter I received from the Tigers said that Scherzer is a part of the Detroit Tigers Foundation and he will autograph my card if I send the card back with a $10 donation to the Detroit Tigers Foundation.
