With Alex, getting closer to that little league age, I've decided to seek help from the professional pitching instructors from the major league baseball teams, to hopefully pass on their knowledge, in what we hope may be the first steps towards the majors.

Our next batch of Autograph requests will hopefully contain lots of words of wisdom and useful tips from the MLB pitching coaches around baseball. If you think this would also be a cool idea, and would like to do the same, I've compiled a list of the pitching coaches for 2008 along with their team's mailing addresses.
