Brewerfan.net / St. Louis Post-Dispatch

This I think is our first official mention in a major city's newspaper:

 

prepsports.stltoday.com/s...enDocument

 

The area's top prospect is former DeSmet pitcher Bob Zimmerman, now at Southwest Missouri State. A righthander, Zimmerman is 6 feet 5, 228 pounds and ranked as the No. 13 college prospect by Baseball America, No. 24 by TeamOneBaseball and No. 36 in college and No. 60 overall by Brewerfan.net.

 

You should be pretty proud of yourself, Patrick. It sounds like you obviously had one of the best pre-draft coverages in the nation... enough for the post-dispatch to use you as a reference.

Wow, that is awesome. Patrick, you should try to get a copy of that issue of the paper from them. Framing that little section and putting it on your wall would be a nice way to remember your first taste of the big time http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif.

 

Congrats!

Wow you gotta wonder how they found their way here

 

Who tipped you off about the quote?

Found it while doing a Google search for "brewerfan.net"

Maybe the editor is close friends with Jim Powell, who would be justified in asking for a cut if this was a for profit site.

Seriously, this is huge, congrats Colby! It's the attention a site of this quality deserves.

Early on in Colbyjack's posting process here, Brewerfan.net would appear on most search engine searches for "2003 baseball draft", or like language.

 

So it was not only the fantastic detailed content that brought outsiders here, but also the fact that the info was available much earlier than most other, perhaps better recognized, sources.
