It was one year ago today that the LoHud Yankees Blog blog got started with this lame post on our old platform.
Nobody read it as far as I could tell. But we’ve done just fine since thanks to you. According to the latest count, we’ve had 1,105,169 page views on 1,194 posts over the last 365 days. Don’t you people have jobs?
Outside of the time Kelly Ripa hugged me, this has been the most fun I’ve had in journalism. It’s professionally satisfying to cover a team so many people care about.
So, here is our gift to you …
If you have a good question for Yankees captain Derek Jeter, please e-mail it to me before Thursday. I will choose the 10 best questions and the answers will run exclusively on the blog this Sunday.
One question per person, please, and make it one worth asking. E-mail entries only. Hopefully we can get some audio of the answers from Derek as well.
On a personal level, thanks so much for reading and contributing your opinions. The best part of this blog is the high level of discussion. Thanks also to pioneer baseball bloggers Alex Belth, Jay Jaffe, Cliff Corcoran and others. I wanted to start this because they seemed to be having so much fun.
So send me your questions for Derek Jeter. Hopefully this will be the first of many blog Q&As we’ll do all season.
As always, your comments, questions and suggestions are welcome.
thanks again, peter. hope one year turns into one hundred.
WOW!! This is awesome Peter!!! And Congrats on the One Yr. aniversary. Thanks again for all the hard work!!!!
Peter congrats buddy! I love your Blog but I might have some disturbing news on the hit number to the Blog, Approximately 875,000 of the hits are from me.
Been with you from the start as a lurker now poster. Have to say your blog has evolved into a super-information hub and a great place to talk Yanks , baseball, as well as other entertainment. Great job Pete, keep up the good work.

“Lima, Biel, Alba, or Johannsen?
Congratulations, Peter! It’s a great blog and I enjoy visiting here every day.

This is a great blog, really enjoy your Yankee coverage, and thanks for the audio, really makes me feel that I am in the clubhouse.
Congratulations. As far as I know, this blog is one of a kind. The Jeter Q&A is hopefully a sign of more great things to come.
Peter,
Congratulations. As many have already mentioned, your blog has become essential reading for me. Your dedication to keeping this an interesting, entertaining and informative forum is amazing. Thank you for creating this great resource. As a Westchester County native that now lives far, far away, I am proud that it is you and your paper that have set the standard for sports blog journalism.
Happy Birthday to Pete’s Blog! You should see if anyone will actually sing Happy Birthday to the blog.
Keep on doing what you’re doing…it’s fabulous!
Good stuff Pete!
Pete,
thanks for all the hard work, like it has been said before, this blog has become required reading for any Yankee fan.
Here’s to many more years
Congrats on one year.
big deal….
Congrats, Pete, and thanks for the shout out. If we inspired you to start blogging, your blogging has kept us on our toes and injected a new, exciting energy into the entire community, not to mention a wealth of useful and timely information. Keep it coming . . .
What Cliff said. And let me add: You’ve made the fan experience that much better while being a pioneer in the medium. This post shows exactly why. Thanks for the inspired thoughts of the last year.
I so giddy I feel like Pete just threw his Mo Rivera 1996 year and I’m waiting for the best still to come!
Happy Birthday both to Pete and his readers. As someone who once did a Yankees blog, I know firsthand how much work Pete puts into his and how lucky you guys are to have someone putting out such a terrific product.
The primary motivation for most journalists and writers is to make an impact on the readers; it’s pretty obvious that Pete has suceeded in doing that many times over. If the first year is any indication, this community will only continue to grow.
Congratulations to all of you.
Thanks Peter and cograts! I do have a job – let’s just say that at least once a day I’m in stealth mode so that I can read your most recent posts.
Congratulations on the 1 year mark.. Best blog out there..maybe if you never created this blog I would pay more attention in my classes instead of checking this thing every 10 minutes haha..
Here’s to your blog’s long life, Pete (and yours, too). I know everyone says this, but I really AM your biggest fan.
Congrats Pete on one year. I’ve been reading since the beginning. Being out on the west coast, I’m jonesing for all the info I can get. Go Yanks!!!
