Welcome to The Hardball Times

by Aaron Gleeman and Matthew Namee
March 15, 2004

Hello and welcome to The Hardball Times!

We are Aaron Gleeman and Matthew Namee, a couple of baseball nuts who had the crazy idea of starting up our own website. More specifically, Aaron is the guy behind Aaron's Baseball Blog and Matthew is Bill James' research assistant.

What exactly is The Hardball Times? Well, in short, it is a place where you can come to find great writing about baseball. In addition to Aaron and Matthew, THT's lineup includes some of the most intelligent and gifted baseball writers around.

- Alex Belth
- Craig Burley
- Joe Dimino
- Robert Dudek
- Ben Jacobs
- Vinay Kumar
- Larry Mahnken
- Bryan Smith
- Studes
- Steve Treder

Many of you no doubt recognize most of those names from their excellent work around the internet. For the guys you aren't familiar with, you soon will be, and we're confident you'll love their work too.

So, those are the basics. A dozen guys getting together and writing about baseball.

We hope you'll bookmark the site and come back every day. The Hardball Times will have new content each and every weekday, including entertaining and informative articles, stats, graphs and a frequently updated blog.

Thanks for stopping by. And remember, Opening Day is right around the corner!
