Site Admin Notes

This past weekend I sent out an email marking the official launch of this site. I’ve been building it for two and a half months and updating this web log almost daily for about 3 weeks, but I resisted the temptation to tell EVERYBODY about it until certain issues were solved. Unfortunately, some glitches occurred in sending it out (less than half of the people in my ad hoc “focus group” reported receiving the launch letter), so last night I sent it again; apologies if this bothered anyone.

And apparently more glitches are happening; I’ve been told that emails to me at jay@futilityinfielder.com have been bouncing occasionally. If that happens to you, please email me at jayjaffe@nyc.rr.com.

Both the home page and the web log page have a small graphic which links to a counter service that compiles stats about how many people are visiting my site.

I have visits to two brand-new ballparks scheduled in the next month. The first is the new ballpark in Brooklyn, home of the Class A Brooklyn Cyclones farm team. My friend Lille went to Opening Night on Monday and had a great time. She says the new park is pretty impressive. Also on my schedule is a trip to Milwaukee which will include a game at Miller Park, courtesy of my girlfriend’s parents (thank you!). I’m looking forward to seeing both of these and reporting back.
