Rail Life Strikes a Home Run with AZHardBall

January 26, 2009 by CWaterhouse 5 Comments

Anyone who's lived in Arizona for any length of time, knows that we are a sports minded, team-cheering-state! For me, that's an okay kind of thing, but for the other million or so people who live in Arizona, it's an incredible benefit to living here. 

 

So, with that in mind, we're thrilled to introduce to you, the one & only Paul Martinez. Paul is the author of AZHardBall.com – which is the only all-inclusive pro-baseball site in Arizona.  When you check it out, you'll see that Paul not only knows baseball, but is a very talented writer. 

In addition to AZHardBall, Paul also owns www.strik.es – which is a site that "Makes Giant URLs smaller"  (If you're a baseball fan, you'll understand that tag line. I had to ask.) 

Starting this week, Paul will be writing a weekly baseball post for RailLife.com – along the lines of "This Week in Baseball".  His posts will include Fall League baseball, random feature stories, events at Chase Stadium, Spring Training, and, of course, all things Diamondbacks.

Please join all of us at Rail Life as we welcome Paul to our *winning* team!

    Paul is the best at what he does – and he is a killer resource for “everything baseball”.

    Congrats on getting him to join in the community and share his knowledge!
