Plans for 2015

When I started this blog in 2013, I did so on a whim. I thought to myself, why should all the college players–that sacrifice so much–be relegated to waiting for May to get some publicity? Newsday ignores them completely until the College World Series and it is not fair for the players and teams that have successful years but do not reach the ultimate goal of making it to Omaha (or Carey, NC in the case of Division-II or Appleton, WI in the case of Division-III),

At first the traffic for this site was very limited. An average article was receiving maybe 25-75 views. That’s basically the players on the team that was the subject of the article and their friends. Obviously, that’s to be expected in the infant stages of a website. 
The turning point was making a Twitter account and covering high school games last season. Social media is immensely popular in this country and it is the most efficient way to get a message out. Articles started averaging over 100 views and reaching 500, 600 or even 800 views. I said to myself, wow this is worth pursuing now.

When I got the job at Baseball Info Solutions last summer I had no choice but to stop updating the site. The position was only for the baseball season and I am not going back this season. Now, I have more free time and I plan to take the website to the next level.

I will need some more contributors. I want to cover more than one game per day and, obviously, that can’t be done by myself. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in getting paid to cover high school and college baseball on Long Island let me know. Email me at Vincentmessana@mail.adelphi.edu.

I am committed to making 2015 the biggest year for Baseball on the Island from a traffic standpoint and the only way to do that is to provide exceptional content that can’t be found elsewhere.
