The Futility Infielder

Blimey! It's the Primeys

Pitchers have their Cy Youngs, scientists have their Nobels, and movies have their Oscars. Now we internet-savvy baseball buffs have our own award: the Primeys. Sponsored by Baseball Primer, the Primeys reward serious commentary and silly humor, great posts, great discussion threads, and great websites. Some of the people nominated for these awards are pros like Bill James, ESPN's Rob Neyer and Jim Baker, and Salon's Allen Barra. Others are amateurs who simply do it for the love of the game and of connecting with their fellow fans.

I'm proud to announce that yours truly has been nominated for one of these Primeys: Best Internet Baseball Weblog! I'm up against four other fine blogs: Don Malcolm's Big Bad Baseball, Aaron Gleeman's Baseball Blog, the Ryan Wilkins/Ben Matasar/Tim Kraus Baseball Junkie site, and the Baseball Prospectus staff's Daily Prospectus.

It's truly an honor to be mentioned in such fine company, and I offer my hearty and sincere congratulations to the other candidates. At the same time, I know that off the top of my head, I can reel off at least twice as many weblogs equally worthy of being nominated. Just check out the guys (and gals) listed at left. You bloggers know who you are, and the readership we likely all share does as well.

Needless to say, and despite some long odds in going up against the Prospectus hydra, it would be quite a thrill to win this award. So I'm asking you, dear readers, to consider voting for this site when you fill out your ballot (my category is #9 out of 11). The voting ends on Monday, so please take a few minutes today to register your opinion. My sincere thanks and undying gratitude to you all for your continued support of this website.
