Twitter: Baseball’s Next Big Thing?
Posted by Bill Baer on Friday, February 27, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Tweeting is the latest craze and not just among today’s younger generation. Nay, even our elected politicians are Tweeting on Twitter — in fact, they did so during Barack Obama’s address to Congress! Even Shaquille O’Neal is on Twitter.
That got me to thinking (which is never a good thing): what if the 30 Major League Baseball teams had Twitters… what would they Tweet about?
Here’s my take on our eight playoff teams from last year. Make sure you click on the hyperlinks if you don’t get the reference.
