We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-base-3-color has-text-color has-small-font-size\">Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-base-3-color has-text-color has-small-font-size\">If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The idea for Open Sunday is to let you discuss what you like. Just two rules.
