Chien-Ming Wang = good signer

[nyyfan]

Very Nice Post AC. I am almost ready to send to Wang ( I got an A&G for him to sign). Hopefully my card was one that Mariano took an hour of his time to sign. I just wish everyone would sign an auto.

Great story. And very timely...I'll pulled out two cards of Wang to send as a TTM request this morning before seeing your post!

Awesome!

On a side note: In today's NY Post, it mentioned Mariano Rivera signed his mail for over an hour yesterday. The story says he enlists a clubhouse guy to help him seal the envelopes.

Very interesting! I had always wondered if players had help, especially the ones that have such a high percentage return rate. I sure hope Rivera signs what i sent! I have tried a bunch of times to get him... we'll see!! I didn't send to Wang this year, but he signed for me last year very quickly!

"The players get a lot of mail in camp, 99 percent of it from people seeking an autograph. The most popular players (A-Rod, Derek Jeter, etc.) hire somebody to handle it and it never gets to them.
But a few of the players deal with it themselves. Chien-Ming Wang is one of those guys.
Wang usually goes through his mail ever few days, but he let it slide for a week and soon had two full crates on top of his locker. When three Taiwanese writers showed up today for their daily chat, Wang put them to work.
One guy opened the mail, Wang would sign the card or ball and another guy would seal the self-addressed stamped envelope that any smart fan would enclose. It was a very efficient process.
I asked Wang what he was paying, because I could use the extra money with Springsteen touring this summer. “No money,” he said. “Maybe dinner.”
No money? I’m out."
