Blogger Nine Innings: Bill Baer
After a World Series hiatus, the Blogger Nine Innings series continues today with a Phillies blogger -- Bill Baer, a future math teacher from Delaware County, Pa., who is responsible for everything you'll find at Crashburn Alley , and some things that you'll occasionally find on Baseball Daily Digest . Bill says his favorite Phillie is Chase Utley, both for his talent and for his exclamation at last year's championship celebration.
