As fan interactions go, it’s not Mickey Mantle, but it’s not bad, either.

Is that letter for real, or is it a cleverly done forgery? Funny as hell and seems authentic.

I'd bet anything it was real, but if it's not, the writer should be picked up by The Onion.

Anybody who RTFA will see a good one-liner by "ARKANSASFRED" in the comments.

You made me visit Deadspin for that?

That Mickey Mantle link is fan-freaking tastic.

I never get tired of that Mantle letter. The "Don't ask me, I'm no ##########\" always puts me in fits, and Mantle asterisking his name with "The All-American Boy" sends it over the top into the stratosphere.
