Baseball Bloggers Alliance Day!

For those of you do not know, this  little blog of mine is part of something bigger,  the Baseball Bloggers Alliance.  The BBA was founded in 2009 by president Daniel Shoptaw "to foster communication and collaboration between bloggers across baseball."  Although I'm merely a newb it's become abundantly clear in my short time being involved that the BBA has done just what it has set out to do.

Each year, the BBA members (as a part of their requirement) vote on the major awards as well as the Hall of Fame.  The 2010 BBA Award Winners can be found here.  The BBA awards may not carry the same weight as their MLB counterparts, but you can't deny the fact their names are better.  The award for the best pitcher is named after Walter Johnson, the most valuable player award is named after Stan Musial and the best relief pitcher in each league receives a Goose Gossage Award.  I'm not sure about you but if I'm Mariano Rivera, I'd rather have a few Goose Gossage's on my mantle over the Rolaids Relief Man of the Year.  

Today, December 10th, on Baseball Bloggers Alliance day, I would like to thank Daniel Shoptaw and my fellow bloggers for all the great work that has been done.

If you would like to check out the other members, and I hope you do, they can be found here.
