It's Our Twitter Birthday

One year ago today TheWrigleyBlog started up an account on the Twitter. And although - truth be told - we started it just as a way to trick people into visiting our blog, I gotta admit, the thing is darn enjoyable.

Here is a look back at our first year:

I wasn't too keen on the idea at first:

But, about a week into it, we had my first conversation:

And soon enough, we started getting some "followers"; including one - on my birthday - thanks to Jeremy asking nicely of a very kind young lady:

Another young fella - and fellow Cubs fan - was awfully considerate:


And by seven months we were all the way up to 500 "followers" - no. 500 being:


The Twitter is entertaining, but it has also been a dandy way to get a story out:

And - I'll admit it - sometimes it's darn exciting. Like two nights ago when an ESPN celebrity sent out something Jeremy wrote to darn near half the country.


And thanks to interactions like that - after one year, we are just floored to have well over 1,000 "followers". 1,000 folks out there, reading the nonsense that a couple of old-timers and one whippersnapper type up from time to time.

and we thank you kindly.
