In June of 2011, I traveled into NYC for an evening and met up with some fellow displaced Phillies fans. We drank and had fun at a Philly sports bar, and watched the Phillies beat the Marlins in extras. Sometime during the night, at least three beers in, I walked up to Peter Lyons, the managing editor of The Good Phight. I said to him “The blog I write for is dying, and I need somewhere to write about the Phillies. Please blog-dopt me.” A week later I was on staff, and 18 months after that I became managing editor.
