In case you hadn’t noticed, The Baseball Zealot went through a small makeover last week. It got a new banner and a new color scheme. I hope you like it.
As much as I liked the old orange and blue styled banner (above), it wasn’t as reflective of our current emphasis now that I’ve spun off almost all of our University of Illinois baseball coverage to Illinois Baseball Report which I brought up earlier this year (Illini baseball fans check it out!). Much thanks, by the way, to former Illini shortstop (and current Tiger minor leaguer) Shawn Roof who graciously allowed me to put his photo on the banner.
In case you’re wondering, the photo in the new banner is the of the infield of Huntington Park in Columbus, Ohio. Huntington Park is the brand new home (it was weeks old when I took the photo) of the Columbus Clippers and was named 2009 Ballpark of the Year by Ballparks.com. I had the chance to enjoy the park when I was there for the 2009 Big Ten Tournament.
Also, I’ve added Feedburner to better facilitate RSS feeds. There are links on the upper right to help you subscribe to your favorite feed reader or just click on “Subscribe”.
