"Congratulations!!!"

From Ed Leipold
I'm glad Brett got hooked up with the Red Sox.
I was rooting for them to get in the Series, along with the Cubs.
Hope everything goes well with his life, and his baseball career.
He's a fine young man and I enjoyed his time with the Curve, and watching him play.
Also, I hope he makes the Olympic squad.
You'll have to keep me informed, Geoff.
Just because Brett is no longer affiliated with the Pirates, doesn't mean I wouldn't like to know how he's making out.
He will always be well remembered by Curve fans.
Give him my best please,
and tell him I wish him nothing but the best, as I do you and yours.
Take care, Geoff.
Ed.

From John Prosperi
Geoff,
Please extend my congratulations to Brent on his recent signing with Boston.
It would have been great to see him continue with the Pirates,
but I am sure he will enjoy his stay with the Red Sox.
It's got to be every baseball player's dream to play in Fenway.
On to Pawtucket!!
Best wishes.

From Tom Snyder
I live in Erie, Pa. USA.
I'm a baseball fan and have been for a while now especially of watching the progress of minor league teams and players.
I've been a fan of Brett's since he signed with the Marlin's organization
through the Expos times,
then with the Pirates team in Altoona (especially since Erie is only a couple hours drive north of Altoona)
and now possibly with the Red Sox.
We currently have a Double A team here in Erie ( affiliated with Detroit),
and I got to see Brett from a distance but never got a chance to meet him, talk to him, possibly getting together after a game etc.
I really would have liked to have taken a few pictures of Brett and have him autograph them but never got the opportunity to do so.
Oh well, maybe I will still get a chance to meet and get to know Brett in the future.
I just wanted to let Brett know that he does have a fan that is following his progress in baseball,
and that I enjoyed watching him play in Erie,
and maybe I'll get a chance to meet him in person and chat with him for a while in the near future.

From Stacy
I hear Brett's not playing for Altoona next year.
See he's going be with Boston's team.
We will miss Brett next year.
He is a good ball player and he is a nice guy too.

From Jill Ralston
Hi Brett,
I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with the Red Sox.
I hope you get the chance you deserve.
While I enjoyed watching you play here in Altoona and hate to see you sign with another team, you deserve to play to your full potential and it's awesome that you might very well have that chance now.
Take care and good luck in all you do!!
BEST OF LUCK to you!

From Madisson
Please tell Brett that I wish him all of the luck in the world.
Even though he told me that he would be back!!!
I can't wait to watch him on the t.v. playing for the Boston Red Sox.
Please also tell him that I will miss him.

Hey,
How r u doing?
Please tell Brett that I wish him all the luck on the world.
He is a really great baseball player and deserves to go to the Major Leagues.
Although I will miss him I am so happy for him.
Again he is a really great person.
I hope I see him again some day.
