Hamilton is going to be busy today...

Hopefully he doesn't break his hand, that's a lot of mail!

Hopefully Duquette found a way to sneak a reasonable, cost-controlled contract in there.

You wonder if he actually reads every letter or is he just a machine and signs away. I got him a couple of years ago via TTM the card came back to me sometime in the winter.
I had no idea how much mail these guys get, that picture tells a story.

A lot of players that TTM do this. Just sign it all at one time. Don't forget - this is a courtesy a lot of them do.
I also imagine at LEAST 80% of that if for people that are going to try to sell them.

If I had to guess (and it's probably like this for ALL famous people), he has an assistant who opens up each letter/package and if it's just a simple request for an autograph, they either paperclip the request with the desired item to be autograph and just line them up for Josh to sign.

I'm sure they are "proofread" as well and if there is a special request that Josh would be eager to read, they mark it somehow.

This is all just assumption of course, but they have to have some sort of routine down to make it go quickly and keep everyone happy.

Its awesome to see a player of his caliber doing that for the fans. Most big name guys probably just drop the boxes of mail in the trash.

I sent him one last Spring Training so I'm hoping to get it back, would love to add his Auto to my PC!

Sadly I have to agree

 

[ballerskrip]

Very cool, I have never seen a player lined up in front of that much impending TTM mail.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I sent him a card, I just don't remember what card I sent. I can't wait to get it back though.

He is the only current player of his caliber to sign like he does.

I sent 2 8x10's a few months ago here:

Josh Hamilton

Thats the right addy right?​

 

[moxacaine]

Yeah for the time being.

I thought he didn't sign on his days off(I am being a smart ass btw). I saw a video of him saying that but I'm guessing he was telling that to stadium rats.

 

[tramers]

sadly i've seen low "A" players trash request in locker room .

 

[MaineMule]

Wow....can you say carpal tunnel.....????

Pretty cool that he signs though

 

[rsmath]

Looks like a lot of people are going to get Christmas presents! He'll have them signed and mailed just in time for Christmas delivery.
