querido carlos b. -

you are by far the sexiest man i have ever met. sometimes i catch a glimpse of you in the locker room, and i think to myself, 'you are so fine.' keep up those good looks. i dream of you nightly.

- love, carlos b.

dear j. m. -

i hope you are doing well. i miss u guys so much. u guys are the best.

sometimes you never know what you have until it's gone. i was thinking that maybe you and i could talk some time. i know c.c. is out of the picture now.

can u take me back?

love,

k.l.

dear wilson -

i love to hear you whisper to me. at night, i hold you close, and all my problems melt away. when i am on the field, i tell you how i am feeling and you always listen. i feel like i can say anything to you.

i am so lucky to have you.

i know how you feel. i wish i could say i felt the same way, but i don't see how this can ever work out.

you need to stop living in the past and move on.

- j.m.

p.s. stop blaming shelby. it's not his fault that things can't be the way things used to be. please stop writing to him.

dear ham -

you complete me.

i saw online that shelby changed his Facebook status to "in a rotation." i can't believe you. how could you do this to me? you moved on pretty fast!

i'm glad i'm done with you. i wouldn't come back, even if you offered me four years and $60M!

matt h. -

i mean something more than friends. i think i am falling in love with you. please don't turn me away. if you don't love me, have no reason to live.

ella mae -

i remember kissing you goodbye on the docks in san diego in '42. you were in the WAVES. i was a marine shipping out five thousand miles to fight the japanese on dirty scraps of sand, rock, and coral. you were the prettiest thing i'd ever seen. i thought about you every night in my noisy bunk room or sprawled on the beach listening to mortars land around us. 70 years later, i still think of you every night.

jon j. -

i never knew you felt this way. i don't think i will ever feel the way you feel about me.
