Since it was launched more than a year ago, Sox and Pinstripes has found that the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry extends to the blogosphere
Yankees-Red Sox. Red Sox-Yankees. You might disagree which team is first, but one point is certain – this is the most storied and heated rivalry in all of baseball. Maybe in all of sports. Now that spring training has started, and opening day nears, a Boston Red Sox fan, who is also a professional journalist who frequently writes about baseball; and a New York Yankees fan have united to create a blog and web site where readers can celebrate, discuss and debate all things Red Sox, Yankees and baseball.
Jeff Louderback, a professional journalist and author, and a lifelong Red Sox fan; and Vincent Mercandetti, a broadcast journalism student at Quinnipiac University and a lifelong Yankees fan, launched Sox and Pinstripes ( www.soxandpinstripes.com) in February, 2007, just in time to chronicle a season that led to Boston’s second World Series championship in four years. More than 18 months later, the blog has already received 200,000-plus page views.
