Welcome to the official launch of the all new and improved It’s About The Money, Stupid.”

For those of you here from my old site, a big welcome to the new digs. Thanks for making the trek. There’s some cold ones in the fridge; help yourself. Your loyalty is humbling and I’m thrilled you have chosen to continue with me here.

For those of you new to IIATMS, thank you. Briefly about me and IIATMS:

• This is a baseball blog, mostly. I will take random detours, but not too many.
• This blog has a distinct Yankees tilt, but I’ve strived, and will continue to strive, to make this not a “typical Yankee blog”. I’ve spent the last year and a half trying to convince you (and me) that the previous statement is as true as possible. If not, call me out on it.
• I don’t live in my parents basement. I’m a resident of Westchester County NY, a quick drive from Yankee Stadium. I’m married with two amazing boys (ages 6 and 9) who are huge baseball fans (as if they had any choice). I’m a finance guy by trade and training.
• I have some wonderful readers/followers/blogging friends who will hopefully make this a great destination. Please feel free to use the Forums to chat it up (there’s a link atop the page). I need your help there!
• I’ve included both “My Daily Circuit” and a blogroll highlighting some of the best the baseball-centric blogosphere has to offer, including many smaller/newer sites that produce some amazing content. Please visit them all. Tell them I say hi.
• I welcome your comments and discussion; it’s the reason why I started this in the first place. Feel free to disagree all you wish. My only request is that we keep it civil.
• I’ve been able to port most of my postings from the last year and a half of writing. There’s an Archive button up top. Articles are sorted by year, then month. I’ve also added a Search field to the right.

I’m still unpacking the boxes and getting used to the new set-up and interface. Please don’t hesitate to contact me or let me know if there’s something you don’t like, understand, etc.

Most of all, thank you.
