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.

Second Phase 2 Letter Returned...

Last week I received a letter back from the Tampa Bay Rays from phase 2 of my experiment. Enclosed in the Rays envelope was a player card of Evan Longoria, a 2014 Rays schedule, and a letter from the Rays. In the letter, the Rays gave me some facts about their organization. I would like to thank Suzanne Luecke, the community relations director of the Rays, for answering my letter.

Phase 2 Surprise...


 Last week I received a box from the NY Mets! I sent a letter to the Player Relations Director of the Mets asking for Matt Harvey to autograph my baseball card and instead of receiving an autograph I received a box of Mets souvenirs!   The box contained a Mets winter hat, Mets playing cards, Mets sunglasses, Mets headphones, Mets garden gnome, David Wright bobblehead, John Franco bobblehead, All-Star Game media guide, a couple of Mets plastic cups,  and an MLB Fan Cave t-shirt. I would like to thank the Player Relations Director of the NY Mets, Jay Horwitz, for answering my letter and sending me Mets souvenirs.

Two Autographs Returned...

A couple weeks ago, I received 2 autographed cards from Jim Johnson of the Baltimore Orioles and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers! These were my third and forth autographed cards out of five letters returned. Thank you, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Scherzer! Back in July, I received a letter from the Tigers that said Scherzer was a part of the Detroit Tigers Foundation and he would autograph my card if I sent the card back with a $10 donation to the Detroit Tigers Foundation. I made a donation to the Detroit Tigers Foundation and sure enough Max Scherzer sent back an autographed card.
