Subject: Progress of Roy Mahaffey
Dear Sir,
Roy Mahaffey has nothing more to prove at AA Hagerstown Hilltoppers!
He has an ERA of 2.79 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt.

Regards,
Scouting Director



Date: Friday, 5/5/1926
Subject: I am a starter...
... so would you please put me in the rotation?
I want to go out there and start for my
team. Please come on, manager!

Subject: Status of Al Moore
Dear Sir,
Al Moore has an AVG of .247 at AA Hagerstown Hilltoppers!
That's definitely no good sign. I suggest demoting him soon.

Regards,
Scouting Director

Subject: My role in this team
Sir,
I believe that I am deserving more than being a reliver.
I want a spot in the rotation, I think
I would do an adequate job. Otherwise, I'd like to play
elsewhere!
