In my case I am from North Brookfield, Massachusetts, where Connie Mack grew up. His hometown is East Brookfield. Mr. Mack was the first All-Star Game American League Manager. It seems MLB has a "holier than thou" attitude.Face it. Bloggers bring the truth.. even in MLB. Carry-on fellow bloggers. Bob Potvin 508-867-3360 In obtaining credentials try coming at MLB obliquely.

I think it's great that some teams are willing to make their own rules. What's ashame is that there are clubs that will just hold up the MLB rule and not explore other options.

I do some work on the Nationals' side with mvn.com, and the Washington Nationals seem to have a liberal approach towards the issue. The Washington Nationals are considering it….

Bloggers will have an uphill battle in getting journalistic respect due to the relative ease of being a blogger versus a beat reporter from a traditianal meadia outlet. I have chosed to take a more grass roots approach by working with minor league teams and working my way up. The way I figure, if you can prove that you will write and blog with integrity, soon the blog barrier will break and there will be a blogger in the major leagues. :) I tried to get access to the MLB Press Box on MLB.com and was denied.
