Well, the day many of us have been looking forward to for so long is finally here: The return of The Sun Also Blogs baseball that comes with pitchers and catchers reporting.
In case anyone hasn’t heard yet, the Nationals did re-up with us here in Hagerstown for another two years, something we as a front office staff are very excited about. From all I’ve gathered the Nationals organization is also pleased with the relationship and are looking forward to two more great seasons in the Hub City.
But, with the season just around the corner (less than two months until Opening Day!), I figured it’s about time to fire up this here blog. I know posting was fairly sporadic last season, I guess you could call it a beta-run for me. I’d not really been involved in a blog before and just when I got a player excited about posting on it, he got promoted. Hopefully I’ll find someone willing to share their experiences with you on a regular basis a little earlier this year.
But the purpose of this post is to ask you guys, the fans and readers, what you’d like to see on this blog for the season. I can’t guarantee accommodation of all requests, but I bet we can make this a pretty cool place to check out on a regular basis. All I need to know is what you would like to read. I’ll still do my posting, and I have two interns on staff already that I will be introducing on here soon enough, but is there anything specifically you’d like to see? Or know? Or anything? Just post a comment here, or shoot me an email (ryanmock@hagerstownsuns.com), and I’ll do what I can.
Hope everyone had a nice winter, but the long offseason is nearly over, and I for one am very excited for the season.

Can’t wait for another year of suns baseball. I ‘m very happy to see they extended the deadline for early season tickets to April, I think its necessary in this economy. Well I am counting down the days till April, until then there is the WBC to watch to get me by. My wife and I always watch 10 baseball movies 10 days before opening night to get back into the swing of things. I hope this blog takes off, the on air broadcast are excellent and this would be a nice coompliment to that. Go Suns! Any suggestions for baseball movies that aren’t the norm would be appreciated.

Oh, fudge, I won’t be able to see any of your games this year. But I am enjoying your blog. Keep it up.

Hello, I am a new resident of Hagerstown and am looking forward to the
Suns baseball season. I had lived in Myrtle Beach SC for the past 20 years and have been a Pelicans fan and Riverdogs fan for mant years. I remember when the Suns were in Myrtle Beach when they were the MB Hurricanes.
Looking forward to a new team to cheer for and hope to attend many games.

Over the past 25 years I have brought my family and friends from Baltimore to enjoy the simple pleasures of baseball. The left field pub is
as enjoyable to my now adult children as talking to the guys in the bullpen was when they were kids. Hagerstown is the best place in Maryland to watch a game. One big request, however. Please post the distance to and height of the rather unique center field wall. I’ ve never been given an answer and it seems like an obvious omission.

Is there a blog or web site that can keep us informed of how spring training is going and the new roster?
Thanks,
Kerry
