CALL FOR 2062 MEDIA GUIDE MATERIAL!

Post by RonCo » Mon Jan 13, 2025 12:54 pm

With the end of the Monty wrapped up, let me take a moment to remind everyone that NOW is the time to be getting your act together on making more AMAZING AND FUN stuff for this year's media guide. I'm planning to be the dummy who coordinates and publishes it (if someone else wants to, feel free to volunteer!), but I need your most fun stuff. No idea too small.

And yes, since the Media Guide is one of our SIGNATURE BITS, the points are bumped up for content that goes here.

To remind, here are the updated Point Values:

Publish - 26ppt (Up from 20)
League Preview - 12ppt (Up from 10)
Division Preview - 10ppt (Up from 8)
Team Preview - 8ppt (Up from 6)
Regular Article - 6ppt (Up from 4)
Special Feature - 10ppt

IN PARTICULAR I COULD USE VOLUNTEERS FOR BBA and GBC LEAGUE AND DIVISION PREVIEWS!
PREVIEWS TAKEN:

ATLANTIC - Jwalk
FRONTIER -
HEARTLAND - Brian
PACIFIC -

GBC EurAsia - woods
GBC AfSAmOc - woods


My time may be a little limited in the next few weeks...we will see. If need be, I'll write previews that don't have takers, but it would be great if others pitched in.

Bottom line, I want everything and anything. Cartoons? Patched up advertisements? Memoirs about baseball as a whole? A recipe for Four-Seam Stew? Make it fun, and in it goes. And if it doesn't fit one of these pre-fabbed catagories, send it anyway. We'll figure out some points as makes sense.

Whatever.

Anyway, I'd like to have advance notice if you're going to do anything--but surprises are also the joy of life. Send me things either through Discord or email to roncollins13@gmail.com

I'll do Big League Chew again. If anyone is up for an interview that hasn't had one in the past let me know. There may be one or two of you that inquired in past year's so if you are on the wait list just remind me. You'll get priority for this or coming years.

I can do the minor league wrap and that “Nuggets” thing I’ve been doing the last couple of seasons. Unless someone else wants to do those, in which case I can pivot to whatever else is needed…

I’ll try to put together another Haiku Review. That was fun last year. I’ll see if there’s something else I can figure out as well.

Other ideas ...

- A humorous list of what every team's fan base is in need of (or wishes for)
- A meme story about a division rival (or your team)
- A collection of memes, one for every team
- A day in the life of a merch vendor outside the ballpark.
- The view from a ball-boy, ball-girl, old-guy bullpen protection guy with a glove
- A study of your team's history (or just the past 5 or 10 years)
- Nine Innings of Baseball Jokes (no, Chad isn't eligible) + an extra inning?
- Interview your significant other about Fake Baseball
- My history with baseball
- A journal entry made by one of your players
- A criteria/job description of a BBA broadcast booth announcer
- The transcript of an ad for tickets to a game, or a conversation of a scalper trying to unload a pair

... you get the idea.

Sujoy the Collector will be back either showcasing his biggest pulls from the past year, his speculative grabs, and the latest card monstrosities from K-Toy.

Media Guide stuff is starting to roll in. Nice as always!

Still looking for Division Previews for Frontier, Pacific, and EurAsia.

I'll take them if no one grabs them ... but it's a nice chunk of PPT.

No one has claimed this years interview for BLC. Let me know if you are interested!! I'll send a bunch of questions via discord and you just need to type some responses. It's that simple!

I'm going to interview my wife for the "significant other" piece. I've been in these fantasy leagues now for over 25 years so I think my wife has just enough information to make this interesting.
