So why would Bulger write using the ball team's letterhead, instead of his own, his newspaper's, or American Lito's???


I think it is because a ball player would open something from his team. He might not have opened something from a writer or a newspaper, and he probably wouldn't have opened something from American Litho. Also, Bulger seems to be a bit of a middle man or independent contractor in the deal. I wonder if American Litho initially tried on their own, and received an underwhelming response, so they resorted to using sportswriters. The writers would have contacted local players, both Bulger and Ball are in New York. Any ideas??
