As a blogger with some sort of background I would suggest to add "Rate this post" feature. For the sake of argument let's assume some kind of 1 to 10 rating system. Then on the right side of your blog page have something like "Top rated posts" where links to the top rated posts appear. For regulars it gives a chance to go back and read whatever post they liked most and for newcomers it is a chance to take a shortcut to the style of this blog and its readers. 2. Another thing to consider is to add some kind of graph that reflects users location. On the bottom of each post have a graph with different colors to reflect where most visitors come from. Hi.

Things about the old teams and the stadium they played in. Perhaps divide it up by decade, include pictures of the players, old uniforms, the stadium, perhaps even some fans for a good laugh at what they were wearing! Another thing I would like to see is a Drafted but did not sign list. Kinda like if we drafted Albert Puljos in the 50th round but he never signed! Or if say Jeter was drafted by the Red Sox and did not sign, choosing to sign with us the next year. I would also like to see a section about 'Where are they Now" ...like what on earth is Wade Boggs doing these days besides Hair Club commercials!

I know the NY symbol looks cool, but we're be able to find the new comments much quicker if there was a searchable word in that little box. It would make the really long threads <i>much</i> more manageable.
