Maxx has good news out of Ramblewood
August 25, 1952
Dear Son,
Things are finally starting to turn around in Ramblewood. We've already surpassed our win total from last season and are in the middle of the pack at 28-30 on the season. I've never experienced losing so much in my life -- your high school teams were always so good -- so it's nice to finally win some games here.
Our pitchers are starting to buy in. Our top guy, Coop Walker, is due for a promotion any day now. He's only 19, so I'd like to see him hang around here a bit longer, but Irontown has a habit of promoting their guys pretty quick in their system. You'd think they'd learn. They haven't even sniffed the postseason since 1901, but they're always rushing guys up to the bigs. It's tough to watch both as a fan and as an employee.
I know you've hit a rough patch with the Arrows. It must be difficult to be in the bullpen one day, and making a start two days later. Just keep plugging away. If you pitch well, they'll have no choice but to keep you in the rotation. Remember, nothing in this life is given to you. You've got to earn it.
Love,
Dad
