Blez:

You run one of the best sites in this world. Congrats on your new child, Maya.

I, for one, would be interested in you putting together some kind of amazon wish list that we might be able to make a small gift donation for Maya as a show our appreciate for the great content you provide for this website.

People can help contribute to whatever level they might feel beholden to you.

I frequent an.com daily and, while the bitter disappointment of the year/off season has forced me into a self imposed gag order (on an.com), not a day goes by where I am not following to see what is going on with my green N gold team.

Anyways, if anyone else is interested in contributing, maybe we can force blez to take a look around amazon and make a small wish list so that we can thank him for the kind of privy information that no other baseball blogger can dream of getting access to.

Thanx again Blez!

Blez and Mrs. Blez, you know we come to feel like family here at AN and would love to show you all a little love back for Maya.

Why don't we do something to coincide...

...with opening day. Do a big AN tailgate, invite the Blezzes, pool some money for a gift for little Maya.

Thanks, jayho...

I honestly appreciate the thought. If you were ever interested in sending anything, the only thing I'd be interested in would be money for my daughter's college 529 savings plan. That's where all the money goes for the advertising I receive now (it's not all that much :-)

We set up the account while she was still in utero, thanks largely to advertising dollars from AN.

If you want to PayPal money for Maya's college fund, just let me know. But honestly, I've received a lot from running this site...including the ability to set up her college fund. That's a huge gift in itself.

Mrs. Blez and I appreciate your generous thoughts.
