knightni Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'd like to propose a sponsorship of Carlos Quentin's page on Baseball Reference by the posters of Soxtalk.com. It's only $35 total for one year and everyone who contributes will have their screenname included in the sponsorship. That's like 3 or 4 bucks a person maybe. If you are interested, post here and I will PM you with details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I imagine recognition for Soxtalk and a contibution in support of Baseball-Reference. Two great causes, if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 We're promoting Soxtalk on the #1 sports reference site on the internet via the most godlike player in recent Sox history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I would donate to the cause but I don't have a credit card or paypal, and I'm not going to send money via. the mail. However, it'd be cool if we could get thebaseballcube.com's sponsorship of TCQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm a Neanderthal and really don't know how to even get a money order and go about sending it. I am still a minor (for a few more days), so I have an excuse at least.

They cost between 75 cents and 2 dollars depending where you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 There's a chance that later in the season that Soxtalk could "adopt" another Sox player if there's one available and there's interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I'd do this. I'll have to just send cash to someone, though, as I don't have a paypal account and don't want to use my card for this.

Call up local companies and have them run ads on this page to make money for the site. Who knows, this crew can turn this operation into a national concept.

Who knows, this crew can turn this operation into a national concept. Its been kicked around at various times, and the concensus is that we like things the way that they are. The bills are paid pretty much by what is out there, and we like being independant of all outside influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
