Pledge Drive Update
The Baseball Musings Pledge Drive continues. With five days to go, 149 readers donated $3185. Thanks to all, including those who donated anonymously through Amazon.
The average donor is giving better than $20. Google Analytics shows that over 37,000 unique visitors read Baseball Musings so far during March. These readers could help support the site at a much lower level and make a huge difference. There have been a few pledges at $5 or less. Ten percent of readers donating at that level would double the dollar amount donated so far. Don't let these 149 readers support the site by themselves.
If you enjoy this site, if you use the tools such as the Day by Day Database, consider a donation. Any amount helps. If everyone who visits in March donates $1, I can run this site for a year. For $10 this site can run indefinitely.
And, in best NPR fashion, there are premiums. For a donation of $50, you will be able to dedicate a post. The dedication should be in good taste and may contain a hyperlink. For a contribution of $500, you can join Jan in Wellesley and Jack Spellman as a Patron on the side bar for two years, including a hyperlink. A new premium is The Baseball Economist: The Real Game Exposed
, donated by author J.C. Bradbury of Sabernomics. The next three readers donating $75 or more receive a copy of this fantastic book.
Donations can be made via Amazon, PayPal or Click and Pledge. Just click on the button of choice below. There are a number of people who won't use PayPal, and Amazon limits contributions in a one month period. Click and Pledge will process a credit card without making you sign up for an account.
Thanks to all my readers for your visits, your comments, and for making this site a success!

37,000 visitors is AWESOME! Do you know how many are subscribed to your syndication feeds? I'm curious about that.
