Dear Jorge Posada,
Thank you for all 20 years you played in the minors/majors. Your legend will continue to live on, and I will continue to admire your drive and perseverance. I had the honor of seeing you play and catch 3 times, you have made such a huge impact on my life and we’ve never even met. Thank you for everything. Signed, Your biggest fan, who will forever love and admire you.

Dear the Texas Rangers
Congrats on completing the deal for Yu Darvish. Now it is time to get to business and prepare for next year by signing extensions with Hamilton, Kinsler, Napoli, and others. Lets get a world series ring this year!

Dear Minnesota Twins,
I love you, despite the anguish you put me through this year. We lost some old friends this off season, but we have fresh faces and some of our boys back from the DL. I miss you terribly!

Dear Yankees,
If I ever had the chance to meet any of you, I would just want to thank you. You have become a real source of happiness for me, every single one of you. You have all, in your own ways, inspired me to be better. You all have given me dreams to chase and goals to pursue. By watching baseball I have figured out who I am and I can’t thank you enough for that.
With love,
A truly grateful...

Dear Johnny Damon
I’ve been upset ever since you left New York and now you’re not coming back to the Rays so my chances of meeting you are becoming small. Please do me a favor and stay in the A.L. East.
Love Always,

Dear Jorge Posada,
It has been an honor to be able to grow up watching you play. Thank you for choosing to retire as a Yankee rather than going somewhere else. Thank you for all the great memories you have given us. The passion you have shown for the game and the love you have for your team makes me proud to be a fan of yours. Knowing that we won’t hear the Hip Hip chants during a game breaks my heart but I...

Dear Jorge Posada,
I loved to hate you. I am a die hard Red Sox fan and I must say you made the games between the Sox and the Yankees a lot more interesting. You were a good player and I’m kind of sad you are retiring you were a good competitor.

Dear Jorge Posada,
Thank you for everything. I know you’re retiring and honestly I much rather this happen than seeing you in another uniform. I know how tough this must be for you, I know how much you love baseball and I hope to see you manage a team one day. I will always appreciate everything that you have done for this organization and you will always be one of my favorite all time players. I hate to see...

Dear Chase Utley
You may be the “second meanest player in baseball” but to me, youre amazing. Youre passionate about the game and you being there makes the team better. But most of all, you and your wife donate time and money to help abused animals. Class act. Youve been my favorite Phillies player since you stepped out onto the field.
Sincerely,
A dedicated Phillies Phan, and a Chase Utley fan no...

Dear Jeremy Hellickson,
I will never forget when you started at Yankee Stadium on your father’s birthday. I won’t go into detail, but we all know that didn’t go well. And we all know you were heartbroken. For once, your emotions were written all over your face. I never, never want to see you look so upset and ashamed ever again. Your dad has surely forgotten that incident entirely, since you won RoY and...

Dear Tampa Bay Rays,
Thank you for being the only thing that kept my family together last year. It seems the only times my parents weren’t fighting was when we all sat down to watch the game every night. When everything came together at the end of Game 162, regardless of luck or ‘single-A line-ups’, was when I finally realized things could be good again. I really don’t care what anyone says,...

Dear MLB fans,
The “Rays have no fans!!!” shit is getting old. Way old. Don’t tell me that I don’t exist or that I’m not a real fan.
I challenge you to find a new argument as to why you believe the Rays franchise doesn’t deserve the success achieved in the past 4-5 years!

Dear Texas Rangers,
Twice you have fallen short of the World Series tittle, but you know what, both no one believed you would even make it that far. I love you till the day I die and i know you will win the title you rightfully deserve soon <3

Dear MLB fans,
Shouldn’t we let the love for baseball outweigh any hate there maybe for players, aren’t they all playing the same game?
dear angels,
even if you got albert and cj you still haven’t won the division. stop acting like it.

Dear John,
I know your 2010 season sucked and your 2011 season was worse, but don’t worry, I’ll always love you. I’ll never stop drinking beer and eating KFC with you while watching the one highlight you had from last season. Your 6.41 ERA makes me want to love you 5 ever. Lackey, I love you. Love, Me

Dear MLB Fans,
Why don’t you watch the NFL in the off season? Or forever? The NFL > the MLB. No doubt.

Dear Mark Buehrle
Thank you for helping me learn to love baseball as a child. Your class and humility are what makes you not only an amazing player, but an amazing person. We all wish you the best in everything you do, and I hope I can see you back on the South Side one day :)
Sincerely,
An incredibly proud White Sox fan
Dear mlb
I don’t even care who I’m watching, I just want to watch baseball!!! Get here soon!
Dear Spring Training:
Please hurry up and get here! Us baseball fans need your warm embrace that comes every year!
Dear MLB fans
The only team that can really brag this year is the Cardinals. But really if your team didn’t win it all, they end up like all the other teams.
Dear spring training
please during up! I really don’t have a life with out baseball.

Dear AL East fans,
CANT YOU SEE THIS CONSTANT FIGHTING IS TEARING US ALL APART?!?! But no, seriously, that’s why baseball isn’t only one season long. Now let’s all calm down and enjoy 2012

Dear MLB fans
this page should be used to support your own team, not slander your rival’s. And I am disappointed in some fans of my own team for using it for that exact purpose.

Dear Fans of the great game of baseball,
It’s 2012. Players will be reporting to Spring Training in a little over a month. Time to let last season’s shortcomings go, folks. The blame has already been handed out, justly or unjustly. It’s over. Leave it in the past and try to forget. Can’t change it, so we all might as well call it a learning experience now.
Dear Tampa Bay Rays,
The Yankees handed you that game so stop acting like you had some beautiful~*~* comeback.
You couldn’t even sell out your park during the postseason. Come back when you actually have fans and are a relevant team.

Dear Tampa Bay Rays,
No matter what any bitter Red Sux fan says, you guys deserved that 162 win. You guys battled back from a huge deficit in the standings, never gave up, and for that, I truly respect all of you. You taught me that the little guy can always win, that no matter how big a hole you are in, you can get out, and that you don’t need to give one player a long $100MM contract in...

Dear dumbass writers who vote for the MVP awards,
1. AL MVP should have been Jacoby Ellsbury. 2. NL MVP should have been Matt Kemp. 3. Kershaw should have been higher up in the MVP voting since a. he had better, for the most part, numbers than Verlander who won AL MVP and b. he had a better season than Roy Hallady who placed better than him in the voting. 4. Just because a team did not make the playoffs does not mean players from that team should...

Dear Tampa Bay Rays,
In reality, you weren’t meant to win game 162 and go to the playoffs. The dirty Skankees handed you that game.

Dear David Freese,
No matter what anyone says, I will never see you as a hero. You and the Cardinals simply got lucky on a ball that Nelson Cruz wasn’t positioned to catch. Ride on this high for now because it won’t last long. You’ll come crashing down during the regular season, like the mediocre player you really are.
No love, a Rangers fan

Dear Terry Francona,
Nobody will ever be able to truly replace you. You were the best manager in all of baseball. I’m always missing you. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you every Sunday night on ESPN. P.S. You’ll be a better broadcaster than Bobby Valentine. P.P.S. You’ll always be the best manager ever to me. Love, A Red Sox fan

Dear Yankees,
Thank you for making yourselves look like even bigger assholes during the last series of the 2011 season. I am glad putting your single A team out there so the Red Sox would miss the playoffs allowed you to get knocked out of the playoffs early. P.S. Thanks to A-Roid for choking - again. xoxo, A Red Sox fan

Dear Albert,
I forgive you. I have loved you for many years. I have your jersey, I have your poster. I was sad to see you go but it was time. You are no longer the next Musial but you gave us a good 10 years and, for that, I am thankful.

A faithful Cards fan with or without Pujols.

Dear Baseball,
I miss you. I miss the normalcy and consistency you added to my life. I miss having a game to turn on every day. I miss spending 3 hours with the team I love. I miss the exhilaration of wins and even the frustration of losses. This is a really sappy letter, but I don’t care. I miss you. Please come back soon.
Sincerely, a lonely baseball fan.
