Twins prospect Daniel Palka got a nice fan letter from Anthony Rizzo (no, not that one)
It's pretty common for professional baseball players to get fan mail. It's a rare chance to interact with childhood heroes, and sometimes, young fans can even get an awesome haircut out of it.

OK, so this probably wasn't written by Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo. It was most likely a young fan who was very impressed by Palka's 34 homers between Double-A and Triple-A last season. Still, this will not deter us from dreaming of a league-wide pen pal program in which Rougned Odor and Félix Hernández continue their ongoing prank war.
