I began Bronx Brass Tacks in order to give a bunch of diehards (I call them “the Brass Ones”) in cyberspace a place to discuss the game of baseball, chill out, be informed and entertained, and all that good stuff.
I very much hope you enjoy this site and, more importantly, that you enjoy yourself by perusing the content, joining the discussion, or taking advantage of the ample news feeds.
I am a professional slacker, a New Jersey native but based in New York City and I reside in a half-cube most of the day. My photography is displayed in the New Press textbook “The Empire Strikes Out” (I don’t care what the book is about, really) and I was a featured writer on BaseballDigest.com. I am a baseball fan to the core. My email address is LibertyBoy@BronxBrassTacks.com, drop me a line for whatever reason.
Discussion Guidelines
- No eye-gouging,
- hits to the groin,
- strikes to the neck or back of the head.
- When I tell you to stop fighting, you stop fighting.
- Touch gloves and go back to your corner.
You need to leave at least an email address to drop a comment, however, if you “log in” / create an actual user account, you qualify for double-secret bonus features that I can’t tell you about right now!
How to Log In / Create a User Account
- Go to the ” LOG IN” section in either the top right of the home page or bottom (footer) of the post you are on. They are the same thing, just in different spots.
- Click “REGISTER”.
- Enter your email, username, and password. The other information is optional – anyway, my business partners in Cameroon and Romania will find that stuff out on their own, “inquisitive” as they are.
- Wait for the confirmation email. It might come later rather than sooner, but it will come. Please do NOT try to login before you’ve received and opened that confirmation email.
- After you get that email, you’re set up.

Using “gravatars”:
Gravatars (Globally Recognized Avatars) are a neat way of thumbnailing your handle / ID with an image that’s relevant to you. This image appears next to every comment you make. Hit www.gravatar.com to set one up. It’s not mandatory; if you opt not to set one up, your comments will be thumbnailed with a geometric pattern by default that will stick to your login email and give everyone vertigo. Enjoy being called “The Purple Trapezoid” for the rest of your time here! I won’t mind one bit!
