Recently, I became a member of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance. It’s a really great group of baseball blogs on the internet. One of the best parts of being in the BBA is that you get a vote for several different seasonal awards around Major League Baseball.
I take great pride in having a vote for something like this. I will not allow any bit of homer-ism to factor into my votes. One thing to take into consideration, is that I’ve watched more National League baseball than American League this season; but I obviously follow the sport as closely as humanly possible so I don’t think it will be a factor. Do I think I got more of a glimpse of Cincinnati and Atlanta players than a Yankees or Red Sox fan? Absolutely. It will even out, I’m sure.
