Here are some highlights of the first year of William World News.
This is the first post I made about getting engaged to Erica on October 1, which is even better than the Nats.
The post-announcement post. I was at the press conference that day. I have a gallery too.
The first post after the D.C. council made it official. You can see the follow up on the next day here.
Ranting and raving about D.C. and the betrayal to the Nats and their fans.
A rundown on what bloggers and columnists thought about the Nats surviving Linda Cropp.
The day after the amended ballpark bill passed and MLB announced they would pull out of the deal if it was not altered.
Guest analyst D. Berg Pisarcik makes a contribution.
The owners vote in favor of D.C. having the team. Guess who disagrees?
Sacarstic suggestions and observations about the process, including my idea to ambush an anti-ballpark rally.
Former p.a. announcer Charlie Brotman goes to the mat for the Nats and the new hats are released.
MLB makes official the worst kept secret in Washington and unleashes what Ryan Moore called, “Our Long Nationals Nightmare.”
Foolishly, I bet on the side of Vinny Testaverde in my bet with Sam over the Dallas vs. Stillers game. Some day, I may even get the opprutunity to pay it off.
Only a highlight if your name is Brenda or you also went to Wisconsin.
My first international post. The next one, HALLO AMÉRICAINS, is here.
Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley announces he favors D.C. baseball. For that, I named him Baltimorean of the Year.
Less than two weeks after O’Malley is named BOTY, Brooks Robinson is named Co-Baltimorean of the Year for his support.
My first D.C. baseball post. It’s buried below other headlines. I was not planning on drinking the D.C. baseball Kool-Aid this year after being dissapointed so many times previously. You can see how long that lasted.
A recap of the epic showdown between the Caps and Pengyunz, follwed by the even more epic broomball showdown between the Penn State alumni chapter and the Pitt alums. I was the left wing and I scored the first goal in a 3 – 2 win. You can see about couple of photos in this post.
The first of many posts about the inexplicable and indefensible removal of Bob Edwards as Morning Edition host. He bolted for XM later in the year.
