A few days ago I decided that the best way to see Cardinals games next year was to obtain press credentials for the games. That way I could get in for free and watch the games from the press box. So my initial thinking along these lines consisted of looking for the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) website. Sadly, they don't seem to have a website. But I did find out, via the Associated Press Sports Editors site, that BBWAA dues are $50 per year, which seems very affordable, but they aren't open to Internet journalists, which kills my whole plan, as I don't plan on actually doing any extra work beyond occasionally posting things to a website.
I was initially rather sad about all of this. Even though I didn't expect anything of it, I kept doing google searches. And then I found pressbox.mlb.com. Apparently, Major League Baseball does its own credentialing of press officials. And they seem more than happy to credential Internet journalists. So now I just need to develop some baseball content, save it all on a separate page, and apply for my press credentials. Seems like an easy off-season plan.
