On this day one year ago my good friend Robert Casey, owner
and chief of Bleeding Yankee Blue, approached me with an idea that he called
the BYB Hub. What the BYB Hub was designed to be was a central place for you,
the baseball fan, to get all your news in one place… but with a twist. You
aren’t going to see the ESPN news feed or the MLB.com recycled news articles
here on the hub, you’re going to see the best of the best (in my opinion) of
the up-and-coming and established bloggers on the internet.
The gorillas of the blogging world, for Yankees fans it’s
places like River Ave Blues for instance, have their own market and they do
their own thing. On the hub the focus is on the little guy that is just
starting out or the aspiring writer and blogger that wants some new, and free I
might add, exposure to their writing and their respective blogs.
See when blogs like Bleeding Yankee Blue, or own blog here
at The Greedy Pinstripes and others started they were built without help for
the most part. They were built on hard work, dedicated and a load support from
everyone reading this blog post this morning. Casey, the great baseball mind
and person that he is, wanted to give a new avenue to writers and the BYB Hub
was born.
While Robert Casey and I run blogs centralized around the
New York Yankees, and there are plenty of Yankees blogs on the hub if that’s
what you’re looking for, the Hub was designed to feed a general MLB fan’s
craving for news and opinions as well. There is a great Red Sox blog on the
Hub, Section 36, an awesome blog centered around the Oakland Athletics, Bullpen Baseball and Sock Talk ,
and even a blog devoted to players in Major League Baseball with Dutchbackgrounds. There’s a little something for everybody.
I want to take this time to once again give my sincerest
gratitude to and appreciation not only to Casey for starting the Hub but to all
the great blogs and writers that participate in the Hub. We made it one year
guys and gals, let’s make the second year even bigger and even better! So CLICKHERE and check out the BYB Hub and if you’d like to be a part of the Hub (or
you know of a blog that should be included in the hub) contact Casey on Twitter
by tweeting @BleednYankeeBlu or contact myself @GreedyStripes and I will
contact Casey direct.
Have a great day everyone and Happy Birthday to the BYB Hub!
