A resource for baseball (and other sports) bloggers
From the category archives:
The folks over at Baseball Toaster have added a couple new blogs. Bad Altitude will be covering the Rockies and Erik Siegrist’s, Just a Bit Outside will “challenge the conventional wisdom.”
The Toaster guys are also reinvigorating The Griddle by assigning Dodger Thoughts commentor Bob Timmerman to captain the ship. Bob’s enthusiasm is evident with 7 posts his first day on the job.

I came across a blog today dedicated to the World Baseball Classic. This is a great idea for a blog, and if the author can build an audience ahead of time it could prove to be quite lucrative. There is already quite a bit of content developed, and if the author can provide timely updates during the games, he could find himself with a big audience.
Now I noticed that he hasn’t posted anything since early November, so I hope he hasn’t given up already. Also, I keep referring to “him” or “the author” because I don’t see any information about the author, and no way to contact him. While I understand that some bloggers want to retain anonymity, I prefer to have some idea of the bloggers identity – even if it is a nickname. And definitely it needs the author’s email or a contact form.
In any case it is a great niche to blog about, and best of luck to him.

As Jon points out:
The book is self-published and can be purchased here for 24.99.

Via aarongleeman.com there is a new addition to the Sports Blogs network. Twinkie Town will be covering the Twins beat, and it is being run by a couple of the contributors from the now defunct Twins Territory.
