I built a thriving community relatively quickly because, who would’ve guessed it, Oakland A’s fans were starving for a place to call their own.
I worked hard to make connections within the Athletics media and front office. You could tell that I had no idea what was in store for myself moving forward. I signed up because it was a free trial and blogspot was an immediate cost.
Yep, November 6, 2003, was the day that I started a little TypePad site called Athletics Nation: Baseball Country. That being said, today marks Athletics Nation’s 20th year in existence. Hi Oakland A’s fans! Yeah, I’m thinking I’m going to use Oakland every single time I refer to this team simply because it likely has an expiration date that’s coming sooner rather than later.
