Kind of curious, anyone have any general idea how many blogs there are in the MLBlog Network? Just wondering lol

Congratulations to those of us who were fortunate enough to crack the Top 50 (my blog “You’re Killin’ Me, Smalls!” was lucky enough to land at #37), but in all honesty I’d like to tip my hat to everyone who is writing about the sport we all seem to love so damn much.

Now..let’s play ball!

Congrats to everyone on and not on the list.

Any news on the supposed new MLB themes and to what level of customization they will allow?

Up to #11 for February. Obviously spurred a bunch by the Ryan Braun situation. Thanks for the reads!

Remember that my “Brewers By the (Jersey) Numbers” series continues until April 5th! Stop by and learn some things about the Brewers players that you might not have known!

Nice work everyone! Welcome back baseball!!!

Mark- Question… What happens if you switch from one MLB theme to another MLB theme. I thought I was going to place a little higher this month 🙂 No worries.

Glad to see some more faces coming back to MLBlogs!

    Ok, cause I switched a few weeks into Feb, so I wasn’t sure if that would do anything. Yes! New themes would be great. I think it would help prevent people from straying away in search of something unique. Thanks!

    I’d love to see a Minor League Baseball theme, or ones with some of the MiLB teams or leagues. That would be awesome!!!

Congratulations to everyone on the list! I am terribly excited about the Giants first Spring Training game tomorrow and equally excited to be blogging about real live baseball again. It’s nearly here! Cause for celebration, indeed.

YAY!! #20!! Don Sutton’s retired number! I look at numbers and I associate them with Dodger players. A friend gave me his number and I said “oh! it ends with Lasorda & Jackie Robinson!

Congratulations to all! and for those faithful that continue to blog!
Congratulations to my friend Jon Soohoo! He is the Dodger photographer. He came in at #12! Way to go Jon! Check out his great blog. He has been posting historical and present pictures.
Check out my last post which is a tribute to Dodger Stadium turning 50! Lots of pictures there from the first game at Dodger Stadium on April 10, 1962 to present.

Mark,
Not sure I want to say “bragging rights”, but been lucky to have a good founbdation of commenters, page viewers and all around good baseball folks pass by my little niche in the wall. Again, thank you for everyone who has stopped, commented or even took the time to browse upon my sometimes unusual writs. Tomorrow (3/3/12) is the first Spring game, and I am so excited that April is about to knock on the door and present to all of us on MLBlogs.com and beyond, the 2012 MLB season.
Love being a part of this blogging community.
