The Amazin' Avenue Annual In The Wild

Here's a shot of the Amazin' Avenue Annual out in the wild. Specifically, at the Barnes & Noble at Tice's Corner in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. Nice to see it prominently displayed in the sports section.

If you've read and enjoyed the Amazin' Avenue Annual, please consider writing a review on Amazon. The greatest compliment you can give is to recommend the book to someone else.

If you haven't read the book yet, what are you waiting for? It's available now at fine bookstores in the New York City area, as well as at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and ACTA Sports.

If you haven't read it because you're patiently waiting for the Kindle/iPad/Nook version to become available, I can assure you we're just as frustrated as you. The company responsible for converting the book to these formats has been generally pleasant to work with but unbearably slow in delivering changes. We went through a couple of proofing iterations that took far longer than is reasonable, but they were told last week to "just publish the damned things already." Hopefully we'll see something this week, and I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

To make it up to you, anyone who does buy an electronic copy of the Amazin' Avenue Annual can contact us at amazinavenue@gmail.com and we'll give you a coupon to get the print version for 50% off from ACTA Sports. Just send along a copy of your receipt from Amazon (Kindle), B&N (Nook), or iTunes (iPad) and we'll give you the coupon code for purchasing the discounted print edition.

while there were other customers passing by.

At least it's placed higher than the Jeter book.

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
