Dodgers: Max Muncy Clarifies Request For Fans to Respect his Privacy

We all love Max Muncy. He is one of the Dodgers’ best players and is an absolute gamer each and every time he steps onto the field. However, he is not exactly pleased with receiving a ton of mail from fans… to his front door in Texas.

The issue started with this image and Muncy’s immediate gut reaction after returning home from a vacation with his wife.



Unfortunately, the user above — like many — read this as Muncy being ungrateful for the support from his fans. Max Muncy is not being ungrateful to fans — he is concerned about safety and privacy like every other person on the planet.

First and foremost, Mad Max has every right to be upset with hundreds of fans knowing his address. While no fans have done any harm outside of asking him for an autograph, this 100% presents a safety and privacy issue for Max Muncy and his family. It simply is not cool.

After receiving some hate comments claiming that he was being ungrateful for his fans, Muncy released a statement to clarify the issue at hand.

“I would like to take a moment to clarify my previous post. My wife and I genuinely cherish and respect each and every one of you, and can honestly say there are no better fans in baseball than Dodger fans. I truly enjoy going through and reading each of your letters and am more than happy to sign any cards or memorabilia that you have for me. With that being said, at some point over the past few months, our home address in Texas was leaked and we have been swamped with all of the items we are receiving. To help protect my family’s privacy and safety, I want to ask you to please send all requests going forward to the Dodgers clubhouse in Los Angeles. Please accept my apology and know how thankful we are to be a part of the best organization in MLB.”

Just respect his privacy. It isn’t too much to ask. If you truly love Max Muncy or any of the Dodgers for that matter, don’t send them stuff to their private homes.

  1. In this day and age it would be a bit uncomfortable to realize the world has your home address, a place you are supposed to feel safe and secure. On the other hand, Max is being naive if he thinks it’s difficult to obtain a home address on anyone.

    A simple google search can deliver a home address in seconds. I thought it was odd a couple of years ago when the LA Times did a story showing the new home purchase for the Kershaw’s in Studio City with pictures from the curb clearly identifying the house.

    1. Thats not the point. The point is that people should have better things to do than try to find out where celebrities live so they can bother them. If you want to use your time bothering someone, write your congressman/women and senators and ask them to quit playing “who dun it” and get to heck back to work doing OUR business…

  2. Imagine receiving literally dozens of packages and letters DAILY and not knowing what people may have included in them? Imagine the packages and letters around your wife and child. People can be really stupid, not to mention some can be deranged.

    Leave Max alone until he’s between the lines. Then yell your heads off in support of him.

  3. Let this gentleman enjoy his family on his time off,respect what he is saying ,it should be of know reflection on who he is or what he feels, he has boundaries as we all do ! He pours his heart out on the field for himself, his team ,and for all of his Dodger fans,if is not easy being a celebrity and being in a position in which to try and please everyone, unless you have been in celebrity status yourself, for those who do not understand just try and take a minute to understand, he is human just like you and has feelings just like you ,he may financially be better off than some but he works hard, as most of us do, just enjoy what he does , and let him enjoy his life with his family ,”GO MUNCE”. respect his thoughts.

  4. Nothing but adult babies, losers, adult children etc. grow TF up you aren’t entitled to an autograph and the fact you want one is kind of pathetic. What’s also pathetic is some nerd out there is leaking players addresses hopefully no one gets hurt because of these man children

  5. Max, cherish your moments in the sun, and know that your fans adore you. Also realize that many fans feel you are personal friends of theirs, and they do not respect your right to privacy as well they should. Its a trade off!!!! Go Blue!!!

  6. Put yourself in his shoes. I would bet he signs everything sent. Hopefully he will get a Post Office box and have all mail sent there.
