Sheff's On-Line Pen Pal
From wesh.com, about the "celebrity status" of being in the LLWS:
Moroff isn't the only player receiving fan mail from the big guys. Dante Bichette Jr., who was featured in USA Today on Tuesday, has received an e-mail from Gary Sheffield of the New York Yankees.
Bichette Sr. and Sheffield were together for one year only on the 1991 Brewers. It's nice that they've kept in touch all these years. (I'm assuming that's how Gary got the kid's e-mail addy.)
So, you play with a guy for one season, and, 14 years later you're still fairly tight with him. Yeah, that Sheffield, he's a clubhouse cancer.

yeah, but you failed to mention what the e-mail said: "Dear Dante, you and I know who the real leader on the team is. Sorry if I'm hurting your feelings but that's how it is. You think I care about what you think? It's not like I'm going to lose a Pepsi endorsement..."
Just joshing. Gary Sheffield is probably my favorite player on the Yanks right now.
