WHY I'M BLEEDING YANKEE BLUE 1 YEAR LATER

Bleeding Yankee Blue has just finished its 1st whole year of covering the team you love the most, the New York Yankees. Casey started BYB in September of 2010, and had a small staff with a few buddies of his. I was the first outside writer Casey selected to write for BYB, and started writing January 2011. My first piece was WHY DOESN'T CASH LIKE SPENDING CASH?
Shortly after, Mikey, Jesse and Grant began writing, and then later on Christy, Lem and Jeana came on board.

The first few months went by slow, with not much traffic coming through our site, but slowly but surely with hard work and effort, we started gaining more and more views and doing something that many blogs don't do... interviews. Interviews with former and current Yankees and Yankee figures like Scott Brosius, Mickey Rivers, David Robertson and Jack Curry. Now, we at over 300,000 views and I am so happy to be part of this wonderful team.

BYB could never be possible without you, the readers who are committed to checking into BYB and seeing what has been going on, voting in our polls, submitting BYB fan of the week pictures, commenting, writing in the BYB Facebook group, and the list goes on and on of how much you mean to us. Nothing that we have accomplished would be possible without our loyal readers. We Love you and always will.
My favorite article that has been written this past year with BYB would have to be WHY IT'S A SAD DAY IN YANKEELAND. Casey, in detail explains Pettitte's service with the Yankees, and showcases his career in a great piece. You can tell he loves Pettitte. By the way, for a more thorough recap on Bleeding Yankee Blue's history, read HAPPY BIRTHDAY BYB. WE TURNED 1 BECAUSE OF YOU.

So what's your favorite post that we've written so far? Submit the name of the post and why it is your favorite and we will post the best 5 reasons why you guys love them and well as re-post the piece? Comment. It will be fun.
