Internet Baseball Writers Association of America, for all baseball content creators. Co-directors @grousehaus, @elizmuratore, @biggentleben. RT =/= endorsement.
The "W" in IBWAA stands for "writers," which we define as:
-writers
-bloggers
-reporters
-podcasters
-authors
-video producers
-Twitch streamers
-YouTubers
-Other mediums we don't even know about
We're inclusive of everyone. If you think you belong in our association, so do we.
The BBWAA deserves tons of respect for all they've done to grow baseball coverage over the years.
However, the IBWAA believes "bloggers" can be pretty good reporters too. In fact, we know several who are! Seemed like a fun question which might get an answer worth printing.
The 2019 IBWAA AL Manager of the Year Award goes to Rocco Baldelli @Twins. Boone 2nd, Cash. 3rd.
The 2019 IBWAA NL Manager of the Year Award goes to Brian Snitker @Braves. Shildt 2nd, Counsell 3rd.
