Me too, scott
So do you know how many letters Mr. Hongbach procured, and did he end up publishing them?

He supposedly procured over 1000 letters in 2-3 years. Wow, what an undertaking!

I did a quick Google check and his 2013 book is entitled: In Their Own Write: Volume 1: Over 1000 Major Leaguers Tell Their Greatest Thrill And Most Memorable Moment In Baseball

By the way, just curious how many of you folks have read Seth Swirsky's great book Baseball Letters or any of his others (Every Pitcher Tells a Story, etc.)?
I always thought these books made terrific reading... Great stuff!
