BlogBall09

A weekly newsletter featuring the biggest ideas from the smartest people

Update: Our two leagues (yes, two!) are now full. Sorry…

It’s time for another season of edublogger fantasy baseball (and, yes, you have to be an edublogger)! Last year’s champion, Jim Dornberg, will be back to defend his title. I shall return as well, hoping to improve on my team’s lackluster late-season performance (maybe I need a different team name!).

Same rules and league settings as last year. A big trophy for the winner. Friendly banter, potential bragging rights, and loads of baseball fun could be yours!

If you’re interested, send me an e-mail with BlogBall09 in the subject line. First come, first serve!
