Happy Trails

The Yankees Universe--particularly the blog reading portion thereof--was rocked yesterday by the news that Peter Abraham, beat writer for the The Journal News has taken a position with the Boston Globe, and in two weeks will have to transition to covering some baseball team that apparently calls Boston home (I hear they have an affinity for garishly colored hosiery).

I've been reading Pete's blog almost daily since near the beginning (2006)--about once a day during the off-season (covering the Yankees gives him something to talk about throughout the year), and at least three times a day during the season. Like many, I will miss his thorough coverage, sense of humor, healthy dose of perspective (particularly when some fans are likely to start panicking), and appreciation for the game. Oh yeah, and frequency of posts!

Moving to the Globe is a heckuva step up for any writer and no one deserves it more, kudos Pete, and may you find only success (and a job with a major NY paper in the near future).
