Jake's Autograph Baseball Card Experiment: November 2013

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 from Minnesota...

Two weeks ago I received a letter from Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins. In the letter, Mr. Mauer was very kind and answered all of my questions that I asked him in my letter sent to him back in September. He did not autograph my card because he likes to meet his fans in person when signing autographs. Thank you Mr. Mauer for taking the time to answer all of my questions.

Earlier this week I received an autographed card from phase two of my experiment. With the help from Mr. Morse, the Player Relations Director of the Minnesota Twins, Josh Willingham autographed my card. Thank you Mr. Morse and Mr. Willingham.

So far I have received 6 autographs: Josh Willingham of the Minnesota Twins, Jim Johnson of the Baltimore Orioles, Joe Nathan of the Texas Rangers, Jedd Gyorko of the San Diego Padres, Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers, and Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners. Hopefully more are on their way...
