MLB’s DuPuy turns to blogging for the WBC- Sarah Galiotto. Vol 8, Issue 44, Pg 7

MLB President Bob DuPuy is writing blogs for the World Baseball Classic, giving the audience an insider’s look at the behind the scenes aspects of the WBC. This is a different take for the MLB, but it seems to be putting a positive spin on the much-debated WBC. This idea was spruced up by MLB Advanced Media president Bob Bowman, and it wasn’t an easy task for him to get DuPuy to agree to blog. It took Bowman 4 times to talk DuPuy to agree to the writing.
I found myself intrigued by the fact that such an important person in the MLB was blogging on the internet. Though he is getting paid for it, he is a very important person and I just find it amazing that he has found the time to do this. I think it was a wonderful idea to give viewers an insider’s look. Many people wonder what it’s like to be the president of the MLB and this is a way for them to find it out.
I decided to visit DuPuy’s weblog site. There are several blogs done that covered games, and in one of the blogs I visited DuPuy was answering comments of ESPN shifting around games. He takes into every aspect of the question and lets the readers know that they got every available time slot they could with ESPN’s already busy schedule. However, he did say that with these comments he is able to take them into consideration for later times. I find this weblog fascinating and think that it was beneficial for the MLB and the WBC.
