What surprises me most about the letter below, aside from the fact that it was written on an actual typewriter, is that Hanks took the time. Well, maybe not so surprising.
Here’s the letter he just wrote to Stabler’s daughters, honoring their father, the Oakland Raiders quarterback (1970-79) who passed away this past July.
It's not every day you get a letter from Tom Hanks. What a stud! So cool of him to reach out. #respect #throwdeep pic.twitter.com/o9E3r0TJjw

Tom Hanks grew up in Alameda — right next to Oakland — and attended Chabot College. No surprise he was a big Raiders fan.
