The book includes letters from President George Bush, Senator Ted Kennedy, Ernie Banks, Elliot Gould and Paul McCartney. Swirsky also explores the careers of several major baseball players including Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio. He then goes on to explain that he included transcriptions of each of the letters in the back of the book just in case the written letters are difficult to read.
