Four years ago today, I wrote the first post for The Baseball Zealot.
Four years goes pretty fast but we got a lot done. We managed to put out a audio podcast for over a year (they’re still there if you want to listen to them). I have a pretty impressive photo gallery if I may say so myself.
I’ve spun off two websites because I thought the attention they were getting on the Zealot deserved it. The APBA Blog focuses on the tabletop game APBA and the many leagues that play it.
Also, I began Illinois Baseball Report after covering the University of Illinois baseball team for a couple years on the Zealot. I finally realized that the topic deserved their own site. While the topic interest may not be as broad, I think it’s a website that well put together and I’m having a lot of fun doing it.
By the way, not only is it The Baseball Zealot’s birthday but it’s also my good friend and co-blogger Teddy Ballgame’s birthday. That’s how I remember his birthday. Or maybe it’s the other way around.
I couldn’t do the Zealot without Teddy and those aren’t just nice words. I really couldn’t. Especially during the college baseball season when I’m off to every home game covering the Illini, Teddy’s there writing about the MLB. thanks, Tedd.
Happy Birthday to you and us!
