First one out of the box was dated February 7, 1994 from the Yakima Bears. The thing that got me upon seeing the envelope (yes, I save those, too) was the stamp was only $0.29. This one:
The letter.
Dear Christopher, (I only allow about four or five people call me that)
Thank you for your interest in the Yakima Bears play-by-play position. There were many fine candidates who applied for the job. (And there were many who had no business buying a stamp)
I'm sorry to inform you that the position has been filled. After reviewing over 100 tapes and resumes, the Bears have hired a gentleman with several years of minor league experience. He has been out of baseball for a couple years. Unfortunately, his hiring does not open another position that you might pursue elsewhere. (Tough luck,
Christopher.)I wish you continued success in your efforts to secure a play-by-play position.
They had nice letterhead and according to the watermark it was 20% cotton.
Next week: Johnstown Chiefs
