Dear Mr. Dork

We have to congratulate Vernon Wells of the Toronto Blue Jays. Lots of ballplayers will engage in witty repartee with leather-lunged bleacher creatures, but Wells has raised it to an art form.

Last week, Wells decided to sign a baseball for some Cleveland fans who had been giving him the business. He even included a personal message, which read:

Dear Mr. Dork: Here’s your ball. Can you please tell me what gas station you work at so when you are pumping my gas I can come yell at you!!! Sit down, shut up and enjoy the game. Your favorite center fielder.

Don't believe he could fit all that on a single baseball? Home Run Derby has pictures.
