Sending mail to Cubs players

I have thought about it for the longest time. I've wanted to send a player mail and ask for an autograph since i was about 8 years old(im now 18).

Have any of you before sent players mail before and gotten an autograph before? What do you suggest? How long approximatley does it take to get something back? Whats the adress you send this too?

Please just tell about personal experiences with this and tell me if any of you have done this, this current year with any sucess.

thank you

While I've never done this
I know that mail addressed to players at the Stadium will reach players or coaches.

Buckner
When I was in 5th grade I sent a letter to Billy Buckner at 1060 W. Addison.  Many weeks later he sent me an autographed picture.  Sweet.

Andre Dawson
I got an Andre Dawson auto by mailing in a request.  He did include a brochure to make a donation to a sickle cell anemia charity.  I didn't even send a photo.
