First off, Thank YOU for reading and following my very first blog!
Originally, I was going to focus this blog on The Dirtbags of July. In theory, I would of picked one “Dirtbag” from the 30 MLB teams, then write about why these players are considered a dirt bag and what defines a dirt bag. BUT as I was researching players to write about -- to my horror-- feature columnist Steven Simon from The Bleacher Report, wrote an article on the same EXACT concept! Witness Below:

So I had a choice. I could…
A: Give up and live with the notion that ALL GREAT ideas are already taken.
B: Go through with the blog as I intended, but run the risk of unoriginality, since five of the players I was going to write about were listed (Pence, Pedroia, Victorino, Braun, and Tulowitzki)!
C: Do it better.
Or
D: Tweak the concept a bit so its not exactly the same thing.
I decided to go for options C and D. Thus, I’ll begin researching and writing my blog this month to give you “The Dirtbags of Summer.” From June to August, every week, I’ll entertain your mind with my list of Dirtbags. I don’t want to show my hand too quickly, but I can guarantee it’ll be original. Of course, that is if I don’t find a similar article mid-research. So I hope you look forward to my blog as much as I am!
I’ll see you in June!
