Hey everyone, I wanted to post a Thank You to our members, sponsors and advertisers for helping to support our site.
Some of you know that it's fairly expensive to host the site with our forum software and technical support. Our monthly cost has grown in almost two years since I took over the site, from around $150/month to over $500/month as of our April billing.
But the great news is:
I am no longer paying for this cost out of my pocket. YOU are supporting the site, simply by participating and giving our sponsors and advertisers a reason to support the site, and through occasional member donations.
Besides saying Thank You, I'm going to make a few posts highlighting some of our very-much-appreciated sponsors. And I'll tell you about a very painless way that members can further support the site, by clicking on our new "affiliate" banners when shopping online for airfare and hotels for your tourney travels, or buying baseball equipment online.
Thank You to all of you for making it possible for this site to continue as a free service to parents, players, coaches, and baseball fans!
Julie

The first sponsor I would like to thank and highlight is Perfect Game. You all may notice their banner at the top of our popular General Items Forum. This is not actually a "paid advertising" banner, since Perfect Game has always said they just want to donate to help support the site. But they did agree to the banner since I insisted.
Perfect Game was the first and largest financial supporter of the site. Without their help, it would be very difficult to make this do-able on a not-for-profit, free membership basis.
Thank you, Perfect Game!

Well worth it, PG. I didn't know good, specific information about your organization until I came to this site. Just the word of mouth here is great advertising!

My son has already been to 1 PG event and will likely attend at least 2 more this summer. That would not have happened without this site so the "advertising" is working.
