MLB == Major League Blogging?

MLBlogs : Official Affiliate : Unofficial Opinions

Now you can follow along the boys of summer by reading about them in the blogs of summer. I haven’t seen it linked from the main Major League Ball page, but Major League Ball has set up a blogging site for baseball fans, supported by SixApart. From what I’ve seen, it looks like a MLB branded version of TypePad, including some customized templates so that fans can identify with their favourite teams. So far, it looks like the blogs are mostly MLB reporters, but there are some other standouts including a professional groundskeeper, a ball collector, and even Tommy LaSorda is blogging (with comments on – now there’s courage!)

I can’t think of a better community of interest than baseball fans. If there’s one thing that baseball fans love more than watching baseball, its talking about baseball (for an example, just listen in to Cubscast.com – the Chicago Cubs podcast. If I didn’t have half a dozen different blogs on the go, I might sign up for one. There is a 30 day free trial, and after that the cost is US$4.95 per month or US$49.50 per year – much cheaper than game tickets. I can’t wait to see how this develops!
