The response must have been enough for Jim Dixon and Pat Coleman to believe that D3baseball.com would be a success. In addition to being the second baseman, my father was the Sports Editor of the McMurry newspaper. I loved it when he let me read the old news clippings that he kept in the shoe box in his closet. He told me of stories of his listening to the minor league baseball broadcasts on the AM radio from the stations across the Great Plains as nighttime baseball became popular. He told me of how Dallas Radio Mogul Gordon McLendon would literally re-create ball games from wire reports over KLIF-AM 1190 for local audiences. The easiest major league games to catch were the St Louis Cardinals on KMOX, of course. We now have Live Stats and Webcasts. We can blog and download game stories. Only the technology changes. The "Great American Pastime" and our love for it live on. Thanks to Pat Coleman for letting us fans run with the message board last winter, as he “turned the dogs loose”.

For my two cents worth, and I was a former D-I athlete, D III sports is about as close to pure as the student-athlete gets. Mind you, all D-III athletes are not scholars or choirboys, but they're only on the field because they love the game. You can't beat that. Wonderful idea!

I am sure that this will be a huge success. This will be a great way to keep in the loop on a regional/national level.

They are the ones that make this all possible for us and thus make it possible for you. To all of Jim's loyal readers over the past 10+ years, thank you, and to the rest of you that are making your first visit to these pages, thank you, too. If it weren't for you we wouldn't be here doing this today.

Needless to say I am not a one man shop any more. The tools that are provide by D3Sports.com makes it possible for to post more information about D3Baseball and a core group of dedicated journalists will make this new site the place to find out about D3Baseball.
