Through the mail autographs

Should have sent it to Trout via the Angels.  He signs in the off-system.  At least he did... Make sure you add SAE and STAMP(s)!

Yeah, you should always send it to the player in care of the team ... theoretically, if they allow fan mail (some teams don't in general, and who knows now with COVID), they put the envelope in the player's mail box, and it's up to him to read it/sign it.

Many years ago when I was working for a sports radio station in Sacramento I covered an A's game, and in the clubhouse before the game Bobby Crosby was looking through his mail and signing stuff.

It was cool to see that in person.

I did send it to the Angels and sent an envelope with return postage.

Has anyone had luck sending anything to Randy Johnson?  If so, do you have an address?
