Retired Kansas City Royals star Kevin Appier answers his fan mail, even if it is 15 years old. New York fan Mark Roth mailed a 1992 baseball card and a note to the Royals’ organization asking that Appier sign the card and send it back to him. Roth was 13 at the time. Long forgotten, the card turned up in the mail last week at the home where Roth grew up in Brooklyn. Roth said his father called and “asked if I’d been sending out the baseball cards again.” The Appier baseball card, freshly autographed, had finally arrived. Roth was thrilled to receive the belated response, but continued to wonder, why now? Appier’s sister said her brother never forgot about the fan mail. “There was some stuff that the Royals had sent to his house that had been sitting around,” she said.
