An open letter to the Texas Rangers

To Whom It May Concern:

I’m Scott Feldman — no, not that Scott Feldman, another one. I live in Boston, and I’m a Red Sox fan. As you might imagine, being a Sox fan is required by law here in Massachusetts. But to share a name with your star pitcher presents some obvious difficulties.

I was writing to ask if perhaps you could arrange a meeting between your pitcher and me. I see the Rangers are coming to Boston in late April. Naturally, I’ll be around. And my phone/email/Facebook/Twitter/Website will be going crazy with folks who think it’s hysterical that I’m pitching at Fenway.

I checked into it: I’m 8 years older than Scott Feldman. So the way I see it, either he should change his name, or at least become a member of the Red Sox. Both of these solutions would allow me to remain a loyal Sox fan, and avoid the obvious confusion that comes with your pitcher sharing my name.

If possible, I’d like to arrange a meeting with Mr. Feldman to discuss our rather unique situation.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Scott Feldman (no, the other one…)
