BYB: A FAMILY AFFAIR

The holidays are upon us once more. We are all making preparations for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays. I like to reflect on all the things we are grateful for here at Bleeding Yankee Blue.

We're a family. It's been said time and again. It's repetitive, I know. But it's true. Our writers work hard. All of the writers here do it because we love to. We all have families, kids, jobs, and different responsibilities to attend to on a regular basis. But we dedicate our free time to provide our readers with a fresh perspective. It really is a team effort. A true family dynamic.

We work together and often lean on each other to make sure that everything gets done, when and how it should get done. We communicate, and interact as a unit for the benefit of our readers. We respect each others work. Like you guys, we read on a daily basis and enjoy reading what is written. We each have an individual writing voice that sets us apart from one another. But it also makes this page run together beautifully.

But for all the work we do, we couldn't keep this thing running if we didn't have you guys. Your continued readership keeps us motivated to keep writing. Your comments, tweets, messages let us know you like what we are producing, and inspires us to keep it going.

When it comes down to it, our readers and our writers are a unit. We need you guys to continue giving us feedback, and continue supporting us. Keep the conversation going. We're listening, guys! In turn, we'll keep putting out pieces for you to read. We couldn't exist without you. And for that we are grateful.

I have been very fortunate to have been award a number of opportunities due to writing for BYB. From the Joe Torre Safe at Home Event, to interviewing some fantastic people including Laura Posada, to the Steiner Sport A Night with Alex Rodriguez and Mariano Rivera event. It truly has been a wonderful journey. I'm lucky to be able to write with, and work along side some of the most intelligent, and well-versed sports bloggers I have ever known. And we in turn are lucky to have such fantastic, and loyal readers as you all.
