In 2025 while writing The K Chronicles, I reached out to Morganna—known to baseball fans everywhere as “The Kissing Bandit”—to ask if she might share her memories of crossing paths with Nolan Ryan. What came back was far more than a note—it was a handwritten letter full of charm, wit, and reflection, composed on her own uniquely designed letterhead that felt like a keepsake itself. The moment I opened it, I knew it was something special, the kind of piece of baseball history that deserves to be seen, not just read about.

Because her contribution was so personal and one-of-a-kind, I wanted others to enjoy it exactly as I did. Morganna’s letter captures the playful side of baseball’s golden era, where characters like her could bring joy, spontaneity, and humanity to a game so often defined by stats. Even her stationery tells a story—vivid, memorable, and worthy of sharing with the world.
