St. Patrick's Day Pledge Drive
The Pledge Drive continues. So far, 132 readers have contributed nearly $1500. You have my gratitude.
Over twenty eight thousand unique URLs hit the site this month. So the 132 donated are just a tiny fraction of the people who could be contributing. If each of those unique URLs resulted in a $1 donation, I could run this blog for a year. If 10% gave $10, the result would be the same.
Today is a really good day to donate. It's my birthday, a birthday I share with a number of baseball players, including Robb Quinlan who may be the starting third baseman for the Angels this season. I wish I had his OBA!
The last sixteen days have shown you what's possible with a full time blog. The Day By Day Database is a research tool that's never been available before for free on the web. And we've only begun to scratch the surface of it's functionality. The charts of defensive range have gotten good reviews; Studes and Dave Stasiuk have lent their expertise in the field, and soon we'll have charts online for every player.
If you've learned something from this site, if you've chuckled, even if you've been outraged, please consider a donation in any amount. Those 132 readers took action. Don't let them stand alone.
Baseball Musings has reached it's monthly limit on the Amazon Honor System, but you can still donate via PayPal by clicking the button below:
Thanks again to all who have donated!
May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.
