Dear Chase,

I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have no been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real home run!

Chances that celebs will actually read a fan letter? by Tiger Ryno

Less than zero.

It was my job when I was in college to open mail sent to a celebrity-type. Lots of the letters were complimentary and asked for a signed picture. I signed pics with an autograph machine and send letter back thanking the writer for their letter--also signed by autograph machine.

The whole time I worked there, not one day went by when I didn't get a letter. At least once a week, and sometimes more often, I received letters so crazy I had to give them to the security guys. Lots of people asked for money.

This occurred in the 80s when it was a lot harder to find an address for someone than it is now.

P.S. Not once, in the whole time I worked there (over a year) did I open a letter and think, you know, I bet my boss would want to read this one. In every case, I either responded myself, sent the letter to security, or sent the letter to someone else for them to respond. Not even one got to the celebrity.

Sorry bro.

I got a hand-delivered restraining order from representatives for Jennifer Love Hewitt, so don't give up on those dreams just yet.
