BSB will be held on Sunday, March 28th at Jerry Remy's at Fenway.
An idea is just that unless others share your passion for the concept. Well the Boston Sports Blogapalooza(BSB) Express is rolling down the tracks and people are jumping on board.
BSB has only been on the drawing board for about two weeks and everything is coming together beyond my expectations.
My idea to put together a tweet up for Bruins fans morphed into something even bigger. I thought to myself, why not get all the Boston sports bloggers together in one place?
These Social Media Outlets for Sports (bloggers) can finally meet, trade social media tips, and talk shop in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Then I thought why not incorporate the Boston media, local companies, and music.
Media of both types (social and traditional) could mingle and discuss all the hot topics on the Boston Sports Scene.
Local companies could network with bloggers about their products and services. Partnerships between these companies and social media outlets would be agreed upon right at the event.
Bloggers can help promote and build a buzz about their partners’ offerings.
In return, bloggers would generate revenue through these cross promotions.
It started as a Bruins tweet-up but has morphed to something bigger. Much bigger.
I am relatively new to the Boston sports blogging scene, I have been writing for Boston Sports Then And Now for six months. Writing is an untapped passion I never knew I had.
I have met a lot of great people via Twitter, who write about the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics, Breakers, and Patriots. All of these bloggers write with passion and great dedication to their favorite team(s). Boston Sports bloggers are a tightly knit community and I can proudly say I have been accepted with open arms.
But, how do I get all of these Boston Sports Social Media Outlets (that’s what bloggers are folks!) in one place? Then it came to me in a vision!
Boston Sports Blogapalooza!
My event marketing background kicked in full throttle and the rest is history.
Why not organize an event where bloggers can meet, network, share social media ideas, and of course talk sports? Oh did I mention drinks and music too?
BSB will also provide a venue for Boston sports bloggers to meet local sports media members. Share your thoughts and opinions with the media bloggers, beat reporters, and radio show hosts in person! It’s all about networking folks and in a fun laid back atmosphere (no suits and resumes required!)
What can be better than spending an afternoon talking sports?
We honor Dwight Evans as the Boston Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month. With the opening of the baseball season around the corner, the choice of “Dewey” Evans is fitting. He was a player who gave his all, all the time to the Boston Red Sox where he played from 1972 to 1990. He is one of the best players not in the Baseball Hall Of Fame.
Dwight Michael Evans made an immediate impact in his professional baseball career by winning the International League’s MVP in 1972. With AAA Louisville, Evans had 17 hrs, 95 RBI and hit .300.
Dewey was called up to the tail end of the ’72 season. On September 16th, he pinch ran and was 0-1 at the plate. He played 18 games and decent numbers during his call up. In 57 plate appearances, Evans had 1 hr, 6 RBI and batted .263.
Dwight Evans called right field in Fenway Park his home. He was a defensive standout and offensively could hold his own.
