Thank You, From Phillies Nation

Since joining Phillies Nation during the 2009 season, I’ve gotten a chance to experience many highs and lows with a fan base that is second to none.

Prior to 2012, we were regaled by 102 wins, a World Series berth, playoff runs, and fun baseball.

The last few seasons haven’t gone as planned, but you still show up on a daily basis, scouring Phillies Nation for news, looking for a place to vent and let your voice be heard. And for that, we thank you. It’s what still makes Phillies Nation the finest place for Phillies-related news and conversation on the World Wide Web.

Without your backing, we wouldn’t get hundreds of thousands of hits every month, and we certainly wouldn’t have Phillies Nation TV. It’s not often that a blog/website can grow in size and become large enough to put a TV show together, but with your help, myself, Brian Michael, Corey Seidman, Ian Riccaboni, and many others involved, were able to do that. It’s pretty cool to have you all be a part of that.

This offseason we’ll be bringing in new, exciting writers to help bolster our coverage of the team. We’ll do everything we can to get you prepared for the 2014 season.

Thanks for sticking around!
