Barely twelve hours into its official release and the Amazin' Avenue Annual has been downloaded 1,000 times. We've been overwhelmed by the reaction so far, and we hope that everyone takes the weekend to digest it and comes back with even more feedback next week.

I can't wait to read it

I’ve had it downloaded and opened all day, but I refuse to read a word until I can print it out and read it on my commute home

Holy crap

I’d just like to give a public shoutout to Alex, for had he not relentlessly edited at least our own home brewed content, I’d probably be pretty embarrassed rereading some if it right now.

Awesome response, so happy it all came together.

Just to clarify

that is specifically referring to the stuff I worked on. I’m still embarrassed for the rest of you guys :P. Kidding, kidding! Its awesome and I’m stoked that the reaction has been so positive and I’m proud to have been lucky enough to get on the wagon early enough to be a part of it.

Patrick Flood's fake reviews

are pretty funny, especially this one:

“If this Annual were a 41-year-old pinch hitter, I would bid against myself to sign it to a three year deal. With a vesting option, of course.” – Omar Minaya, Mets General Manager

I would post it on

www.thisguysucks.org but I’m not sure people would get it. I, on the other hand, probably won’t leave the house until I finish it. Or I have a Rip Van Winkle beard.

Hats off to this

Fine piece of work delivered here. Beautiful in presentation, delivery, and all aesthetic aspects (major props to a Mr. Brad Lappin, if he’s reading). If the writing quality in the PDF is as clever and sharp as what I read here while lurking, I certainly look forward to really digging, in and reading through it during company time in coming weekdays.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
