A face for radio: as spring training approaches, the Baseball Bloggers Alliance does its best Ramones impersonation

Last summer, Avenging Jack Murphy, along with a few other San Diego Padres blogs were invited to join the Baseball Bloggers Alliance. The BBA's stated mission was for baseball bloggers to get together and be able to use each other as sounding boards for series previews as well as end of the season awards voting.

After the 2009 season, the members of the BBA voted on the same awards that the Baseball Writers of America vote on as well as the Hall of Fame voting. As we approach the 2010 season, BBA founder Daniel Shoptaw, is bringing another dimension to the bloggers' confederation: podcasting.

Take a look at the below release with all of the relevant links:

The writers of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance would like to announce that they are taking to the airwaves.

Beginning Tuesday, February 16th at 11 pm Eastern, BBA Baseball Talk can be found at Blog Talk Radio. This one-hour show will discuss the big stories of the day in major league baseball and other baseball-related topics. Callers are welcome to chime in at 347-884-8690.

Your hosts for the first edition will be BBA founder Daniel Shoptaw, who writes at C70 At The Bat, and Ron Kaplan of Ron Kaplan's Baseball Bookshelf.

Hosts will rotate on a weekly basis and the time and date of the show may move depending on the requirements of that week's hosts.

The Baseball Bloggers Alliance is a confederation of 132 blogs working together for collaboration and discussion possibilities.

I look forward to hearing the BBA represented on Tuesday night and then listening to the Friarhood on Blog Talk Radio, Thursday evening. Tank from The Matrix said it best; "These are exciting times."

Use the BBA to help you gain insights on who your team plays next because let's be honest....... John Kruk don't know shit!

The BBA wants the airwaves:
