Is this an attempt at satire that whoooshed over my head, or are you seriously judging a man by the way he addressed people in letters?

I retrieved the letters from my bank today and I have 41 of them...some are just cuts or index cards, some are the letters Steen sent with notes from the player at the bottom, some are full letters from the player, and a few are from the wife of the player.

and the last one was sent to a man named Roscoe Ford, but was meant for Russ Ford. Roscoe got a kick out of being asked for his autograph.

edited to add: I did at one time own the Babe Ruth letter, but sold it to ease some of my expenses on the entire collection.

Has anyone received an invoice yet? I have emailed the auction house twice requesting one and have received no response.

They called me the Monday after the auction and I gave them a credit card over the phone and got my items 2 days later.

I like how Brown signed his... Mordecai Brown, a Cub. Nice!

[David Atkatz]

That was his usual way of signing, Chuck.
