ATVL in the DNR

Brent Finnegan -- June 12th, 2008

John Leonard, possibly the local blogosphere’s most devout blogger, got some coverage for his work on All Things Valley League in today’s DNR.

While he doesn’t get paid to do the site, Leonard hasn’t gone unnoticed. Kevin Warner, the VBL’s media relations director, gave Leonard an All-Valley ballot, which had been reserved for coaches, broadcasters and other media.

“John follows the league as closely as any broadcaster or media member,” Warner said. “He knows who’s good and who’s deserving. I just thought with the amount of coverage he gave the league, I thought he deserved the opportunity to vote.”

Nice work, John.
