Hand written love letters from past sport’s legends seem to be popping up everywhere. A love letter written by baseball legend Willie Mays to his girlfriend Gladys Cofield has surfaced from the 1950’s. Much like with the letter that Jordan wrote, Mays is involved in a situation where he doesn’t get the opportunity to spend much time with the young lady.
What is sweet, (or maybe it is now because times and relationships have changed) Mays is taking a little extra effort to make sure his girlfriend feels appreciated and he’s doing something that he isn’t exactly fond of and not very good at (letter writing) because he knows it’s important to her.
Guess I’m just a romantic at heart. Check out the transcript of the letter:
