At Baseball Reference Dot Com, VLADIMIR GUERRERO'S CAREER PAGE is sponsor-free at the moment. This is a rare opportunity to put your name with one of the game's greats.
Why don't I snap it up? Well, funny you should ask... I stopped buying sponsorships of active players after The Great Halos Heaven Sponsorship Jinx of 2006:
I went crazy with player page sponsorships that season... but most of them tanked! Kotchman (mono), McPherson (back injury), Mathis (suckage - supplanted by Napoli), Colon (back injury). What were the odds?
I use baseball reference every day and thousands more do. I encourage everyone who loves baseball to pick up a player or team season sponsorship or two - buy your favorite player and link to your own website or -ahem- your favorite Angels blog.

I'll let someone else claim Vlad...
But I still thought this would be a good opportunity to share the fact that I do sponsor the 1985 California Angels team page.
Does anyone else currently sponsor any other Halo teams/players?

Nope, still putting two through college (last two)
What kind of bank are we talking about on these sponsorships?

if you have something to promote
a B-REF Sponsorship will draw eyeballs to your website or reinforce your brand as synonymous with baseball excellence.

Uhhhhh
Website? Give me a break. Not willing to put in that kind of work. That’s why we have you.

Too late
It’s still showing available on Vlad’s page, but when I clicked to sponser it, I got a message that it was unavailable. My guess is that somebody just beat me to it, but the sponsership won’t show until Sean updates the site overnight.

Maybe Lookout Landing got to it first?

I hope so.
We all remember what happened last time they did that…

perhaps rev shouldnt have advertised the availability of the page
with those other guys, who shall remain nameless, taking it over
linkbruin - March 3, 2009
That's funny.
I’ve never been to their site … this kind of move after Rev “front-paged” the availability, makes me more certain that they are the second blog site for the Halos.
Downing Rules - March 3, 2009
Well, Angelswin.com got the site
no more fears that the Mariners are pulling a ‘tardfest on Vlad’s page.

Too bad...it provided some of the best comic relief of 2008.

Linkbruin had chosen to have them remain nameless.
And you go and ruin it all a day later!!! ;)
