Because college baseball has a long off-season. :-)

I found that I was spending a lot of time using Google News and looking at the web sites of opposing teams to get information about the Thunderbirds, specifically about webcasts and how UBC alumni are doing in pro ball. Since I was looking up this stuff anyway, I thought it would be useful to share it with other people interested in the UBC baseball program.

Also, I was interested in getting more experience with web site content management systems. In developing this site, I experimented with several of them, including PostNuke and Plone. The original implementation of this site was with phpWebsite, but I switched it to Mambo Server late in 2004.
