Pledge Drive Update

The Baseball Musings Pledge Drive continues with 21 readers donating a total of $1135 during the first fourteen days. Special thanks to Jack Spellman who renewed his patron status with a $500 pledge.

Won’t you join them? If you like series like the review of team changes or Objective PMR, think about sending a few dollars via PayPal. If you like the Lineup Analysis series, why not support that research? Those donations also help keep the Day by Day Database (complete logs back to 1957), up to date.

According to Google Analytics, nearly 4000 people have visited this site at least 50 times in March, 2000 of them over 200 times! To all those power users, if every visit is worth a nickel, then a donation of $10 a year is bargain! Any amount is fine. If every individual who visits this site in March gives $1, Baseball Musings can be written full time for a year. If everyone donated $10, the money raised would sustain this site indefinitely.

Larger donations earn you a premium. For a donation of $50, you will be able to dedicate a post. The dedication should be in good taste and may contain a hyperlink. For a contribution of $500, you can join Peter Gammons and Jack Spellman as a Patron on the side bar for two years, including a hyperlink.

Donations can be made via PayPal. Unfortunately, other donations providers have gone out of business or charge too much money in fees. If you refuse to use Pay Pal but still wish to donate, please contact me and I’ll provide an address for a check. Larry Wright couldn’t use PayPal, so he sent in a check for $100! My email is pinto@baseballmusings.com.





Thanks again to everyone who helped make this site a success by reading, commenting on and recommending the site. With your monetary support, Baseball Musings can continue to bring you a fresh perspective on the game and explore new ways of presenting information about the national pastime. Be part of the second decade of Baseball Musings by making a generous donation today.
