# 4,000
This is the 4,000th entry ever made to WasWatching.com. Considering that today is the 964th day that WasWatching.com has been around, that's pretty cool: An average of 4 posts per day (by yours truly).
But, here's something more cool:
Back in April of 2005, during its first month, this site received about 200 unique visits per day. By April of 2006, that average grew to about 1,600 unique visits per day. And, by April of 2007, the average increased to about 5,100 unique visits per day.
And, last month, November 2007, on average, WasWatching.com had, about, 6,100 unique visits per day. (Over the last three months, from the reports that I've seen, WasWatching.com averages about 940 readers per day. So, this suggests that many of you visit the site about a half-dozen times per day - if I'm understanding the stats correctly.)
Around a thousand people per day - each checking it out around six times per day. How's that for cool?
Also, to date, there have been over 25,200 comments left on this blog (over the span of the 964 days that it's been open for business).
There are all some very big numbers - more than I ever imagined to be possible.
So, thanks to all for their interest in WasWatching.com over these past 964 days and 4,000 entries. If you keep showing up, I’ll be here with something for you. Lastly, please, keep the comments coming. Those, along with the visitor counts, keep reminding that I'm not spending a lot of time here doing something absent of reason. As long as my fellow Yankees and/or baseball fans get something out of this, that's a great reason to keep doing it.

A good half of those though have been posts of you reflecting on your experience as a blogger.
Just kidding keep them coming.

Hey Steve,
Your site is great, I've been following it for a while now (over a year). You always provide some nice commentary. Keep up the good work.

Happy 4,000th post!
This blog is my first stop on the daily internet surf and I come back at least 5-6 more times a day.
Best Yankee blog out there and a helluva great site administrator (his mancrush on Brett Gardner/Alberto Gonzalez notwithstanding)! :-)

Congratulations Steve,
I've been checking this site out for about a year now. While I don't always agree with you, this blog is one of the first places I check for Yankees news. Keep up the good work!

Great job Steve, this is the first place I go for Yankees news. I have been happy to recommend this site to friends and family who are Yankees fans as well. There are some pretty good other blogs in your links, but this one is very user friendly, and many of the visitors who contribute regularly really help to make this site as good as it is. There are about a dozen regs whose opinion I seek on a regular basis when it comes to the Yankees. Here's to another 4K.

Keep up the great work, Steve! Congratulations.

Congrats Man... I visit this blog at least once a day. It's the first site I pull up when I need my Yankee fix and on a busy day I frequent it at least 3-4 times a day.
I hardly ever post, but love reading the comments. Especially those from baileywalk.
Keep up the great work.

Just wanted to say hi and well done from the UK. This is one of my 'must check' sites everyday (at least twice.)
Without such great posts (and comments) I can't imagine how I could survive being nearly 3,700 miles away from the stadium!! Thank the great electric web gods for providing such bounty... oh and you too ;)
