Since the official launch of Simply A Fan in July, we have been encouraged by the support of family, friends – both long time friends and those we are just meeting as a result of this adventure- THANK YOU! Now with the playoffs over and the season behind us, we often get asked, “So now what are you doing to do until baseball season starts back?” In addition to continuing with our other start-up business, 2×2 Global, which is also in year one, the answer for Simply A Fan is pretty simple…we are going to build.

We will build and then, when we think we’re done building, we will build some more. We are going to relentlessly pour energy into building the brand and the business model for Simply A Fan so that when MLB Opening Day 2019 arrives on March 27th (just to be precise!), we can look at the offseason and know that we’ve done everything within our capacity to do the work that is necessary for any start-up family-owned business to succeed.

Yes, I am getting to go on multiple baseball adventures. Yes, I am having fun going to games and traveling with family and friends on these trips. Yes, I may be out of the ordinary because I love meeting complete strangers along the way who become friends! Yes, I thoroughly enjoy leading people on baseball trips where the camaraderie and fellowship within the group before and after the game is often more important than the actual play of nine innings on the field.
