I post pretty infrequently so don't add much to the neighborhood, but I've been a Banter reader since 2004, maybe 2003, because this continued to be the best place to be a Yankee fan but still get it straight. (I can't count the number of sports-related blogs I subscribed to that either died or which I gave up on.) Hell, I learned that the Yankees had won the ALDS from the comments here at least a half-minute before Yahoo updated game day. The add'l material on movies and the NY notes are a bonus, and frankly there's a lot of good sports-writing I would never have read except that the Banter either re-printed it or else pointed me there. So as [1] said, "Keep on keeping on", and thank you. De-lurking for just a moment or two to join the happy crowd and say congratulations.

BBB is by far my favorite place to go for Yankees commentary and camaraderie and for the unexpected. I'm not a writer, but you've opened my eyes to writing. Congrats, Alex.

Since I live on the left coast, I don't often have the opportunity to comment, particularly on the game threads. I have learned so much from all the contributors not only about baseball, but also regarding music, art, movies and all the other tidbits that Alex presents for our enjoyment on a daily basis. Thanks for being here everyday Alex. Congratulations on 10 great years. I have been reading this site daily for at least half of those ten years.

Is there a link anywhere to the archives of the original days, as it looked like at the time? Crazy to think back on how this place has evolved, yet still been the only place I go for Yankee chat after all these years. Congrats AB.
