Step Up To The Plate And Nominate, BOS – BCS

If you’ve read this blog over the past week you know Boys of Spring is going to be giving some deserved recognition to the great Cubs websites out on the interwebs with our first Boys of Spring – Best Cubs Site awards (BOS BCS). This is the final week for nominations. I know there are many fantastic Cubs sites yet to be nominated – So step up to the plate and nominate.

Perhaps I needed to mention the cash prizes and very cool icon/widget your site will get if you win, or the incredible prestige that comes along with the awards, or seeing your Cubs website broadcast to the far reaches of the world on our awards show extravaganza. OK, I was kidding about the cash and prestige, but you will get the cool widget and be a part of the show!

The Santo – Best Original Cubs Content: Bleacher Nation
