The handwritten note from Scherzer's 8-year-old daughter, Brooke, was written while she was composing a letter to Santa Claus. 'Dear Blue Jays,' the note began, 'I am so sorry that you didn't win the World Series. I hope that you win next time. I hope my dad is back on the team.'
Scherzer said the letter was a factor in his decision to return to the team that came close to winning the World Series last season.
