'I could not let these end up in the trash.'
Roger Dean Stadium clubbie said he rescued St. Louis Cardinals fan mail that had been tossed to the curb. Guess what he did with it.
IF YOU’RE AMONG the millions of passionate baseball fans who have written letters to their favorite players over the years, you might want to refrain from reading any further.
Bryan Greenberg, a retired Major League Baseball attendant, has some bad news for you: Fan mail often gets tossed in the trash, unopened.
“It happens more than you think,’’ he told me.
In 2014, a year before he retired, he said he found a Hefty bag of “thousands” of unopened letters to St. Lous Cardinal players next to a trash bin at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter.
He took it home and stored it in his garage for 10 years. In early 2024, he decided that the people who mailed those letters deserved something in return.
