My request: Blue pen, sweet spot, HOF inscription
Commentary: The off-season appears to be the best time of year to catch Ryne Sandberg for an autograph request through the mail. The timing makes perfect sense as Sandberg has worked various managerial gigs for years. As for which address to target, the success rate to his home address in Arizona seems to yield the best results. Please note that there are accounts of fans achieving this outcome from Ryno for much less than $25 -- some have even reported including only a handful of dollars. Nevertheless, I aimed high and included $25 for two reasons. First, I wanted to ensure any kind of success. Second, I requested a HOF 2005 inscription. In the end, I achieved the former, but not the latter. It will be interesting to see if Sandberg continues to sign with alacrity, now that his interim status as manager of the Philadephia Phillies has sequenced into a full-time role. Proceeds go to Sandberg's charity.
