The Baseball Musings Pledge Drive is up to $2295 through the first two weeks of donations. With 16 days to go, continuing that pace would make this the best pledge drive in the history of Baseball Musings.

Peter Gammons donated $500 and is now listed under patrons in the side bar. Peter's reasons for giving?

I use it every day, I use the day-to-day database ten times a day during the season...and you find the most unusual links.

Rob Neyer joined Peter with a $100 donation. There are small donors however, and Josh Levitt is one of them. Here's why he gave $5:

I am far from a rich guy and I don't have much to give in comparison to other people. But I check baseball musings several times during the day and I appreciate all the hard work you do on the site. Baseball Musings has quickly become my go to site for baseball information and analysis. I thought it was important to show my appreciation for your hard work and passion in anyway I could.

According to Google, over 20,000 unique visitors viewed this site so far in March. Five dollars from each of them would allow me to run this site for years. If you use the site the same way, as Peter and Josh, isn't it worth $5 a year? Few can afford $500, but 100 readers donating $5 each accomplishes the same goal. That helps buy the stats that keep the Day by Day Database and the Probabilistic Model of Range going. You can use PayPal or ClickandPledge. The latter allows you to use a credit card without signing up for an account.

Thank you for reading and for your continued support!
