BtB Ranked Tenth Best MLB Blog by Sports Media Challenge
Here's what they had to say about BtB:
"10. Beyond the Box Score - "Statistics Gone Mad," is an understatement, as this blog is a stat rats haven. This blog is above the mean in most categories, but excels with great content, community, and blog network rank."
Community is all you guys, so thanks. No, our comment sections don't consistently hit 100 mark, but they're mostly of high quality, and 30+ comment threads are a lot more common than they were even six months ago. This is your site as much as ours, so keep up the great work.
The categories every blog was rated on include content, community, and influence, details of which are here. Subscription-based sites and those backed by traditional media outlets are not considered.
The Full Fifteen:
1 MLB Trade Rumors
2 Baseball Musings
3 Joe Posnanski
4 FanGraphs Baseball
5 Hardball Times
6 Athletics Nation
7 Lookout Landing
8 South Side Sox
9 Bleed Cubbie Blue
10 Beyond the Box Score

yay
congrats, Sky. I know you emphasize the “Community” aspect, but that wouldn’t have happened without you’ve promoted the site, encouraged contributions, assimilated various writers. Etc.
I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.
It's because of the FanShots.
In all seriousness, though, congrats. I’m happy we get to be small parts of such a big deal.
