End of the Drive

The final numbers on the pledge drive are in. One hundred eighty two readers donated $2642. The donations ranged from $1 to $500. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support. It's made a huge difference as I try to move from employee to small business owner.

And I want to thank everyone who visited just as much. By every measure available, March 2005 was Baseball Musings best month ever. I've been able to sell more Blogads, and are starting to see other advertising opportunities come along. It's convinced me that blogging full time is the way to grow this site to be self-sustaining.

So I'm going to re-evaluate my plans for blogging vs. traditional work. My dream was for a level of donations that would keep this site running for a year. That didn't happen, but the amount donated was more than I realistically expected to receive. The traffic increse during an exhibition season makes me wonder what will happen in April.

So feel free to keep donating. I won't be bothering you in every post any more, but I will remind you from time to time about donations. I'll be adding pitching stats to the Day by Day Database soon.

Like I said yesterday, I'd have no problem paying once a month to help support you considering the great work that you've been putting out. You're a credit to the baseball community.

Ditto. I hope I haven't stumbled on a life form
that will prove ghastly, and only worth knowing on
a screen. I have to assume that most readers of baseball blogs & services are doing so out of a
homeless shelter, or maybe jail. They can't afford
the price of a cup of coffee to send in here--to me
it's not funny.
