What’s special about baseball letters?

Simple. Each piece of correspondence is a window into the heart and soul of a former player.

When I spotted this letter to parents from then-youth baseball coach Mike Matheny, I had to share.

What major league team wouldn’t hire someone who could describe his game plan so eloquently?

I hope many of the parents who received a copy treasured what they were getting.
