I'm thinking of mailing Derek Jeter an official MLB Baseball, Sharpie, a Self-Addressed Stamped Box and requesting his autograph. Should I go ahead and do it? Or am I essentially throwing away, well, the aforementioned. Does anyone have any experience with Jeter? Thanks.

    Your throwing it away. Not sure if he has whoever does his mail return to sender. Why would you want him to sign with a sharpie? Always get balls signed with blue bic ballpoint pen.

    I got him by mail...as a rookie. Not sure if he signs anymore, but I would say no. Look at what Steiner is paying him, he doesn't need to sign for free.

    But, if your willing to lose a ball, it's worth a shot.

    Don't bother.

    But if you decide to do it...send a blue ballpoint instead of a sharpie.

    I doubt he'd sign, but if you were gonna send it, it's the wrong time of year I think. Spring training ususally has some successes for current players, and the off season isn't bad if you've got home adddresses. But like everyone's said, t's likely gonna be a waste of time/money. Try and get to a game and get it in person.

    I'd say this is a far reach , but if you're willing to lose a baseball and a pen , why not, ya get nothing if you try nothing , maybe ya get him on a slow day , just kickin around the house in his shorts with nothing to do .

    I would not send the sharpie either though .

    Put something interesting/funny in the box. Make it stand out. Any experiment is worth a few bucks - what the heck?
