D3sports.com Launches Baseball Site

Nobody will likely care about this but me, but the highly popular and respected d3sports.com has launched a new branch: d3baseball.com. What Pat Coleman's brainchild brought to the world of people that actually care about, follow and are knowledgable about Division III Football and Basketball now comes to the less popular baseball. The site features recaps, previews, articles and, perhaps most exciting for yours truly, the same message board feature that makes DIII Football season such a hoot. For me. (The message board for baseball has always existed, but hopefully this will bring more traffic.)

The technical aspects of the site are overseen by "guru" Coleman, while Jim Dixon will be the main content supervisor. I don't know if there's going to be a poll the way there is on d3football and d3hoops (these polls are actually the most respected by media outlets in Division III), but it would probably better than the coaches poll, which follows the "top eight in the national poll have to be number ones in each of the eight regions" policy, which is dumb.

So I encourage you to go follow your alma mater (if you happen to have gone to a DIII baseball school) and give support to what really can be some good baseball. If you're wondering where MY allegiances lie, I will only say that you may be able to see me in this picture:


Find what school that group of fans belongs to and you will find your answer.
