What We Do Here
Outlining The TSSB Mission Statement in a more concise, clear and refreshed format. Plus, a reminder of the kind of content we'll be delivering on the daily here...
Hello, Everyone!
I hope you all had a tremendous July 4 and are enjoying the long holiday weekend in my favorite - and the best - country on the planet.
As I outlined in a previous post, I’ve been making some incremental changes behind the scenes in order to enhance your experience here at The Steele Sports Bar.
One of those tweaks was to clean up our mission statement and revamp our About Page. On reflection, there was way too much going on in that section and it wasn’t really doing the job it was supposed to. The perfect About Page is meant to tell you the main mission statement of a website and then get you the hell out of there after a couple of minutes.
As such, I streamlined our mission statement and clearly laid out what you can expect from The Steele Sports Bar on a daily basis. I’m going to include that information below in full.
Also, given that we’ve had a boatload of new subscribers over the past few days, I thought it would be a good idea anyway to put out a reminder of just what we do here and what we ultimately want to accomplish.
Hello, and welcome to The TSSB Family, by the way.
Plus, we’re currently running a special offer where you can give the gift of a subscription and receive 25% off an annual sub! Now, all content will remain free but upgrading to a paid subscription will support the future growth of the site. I’m also working on a few exclusive features for those kind enough to help out financially.
I want to thank you all once again so much for choosing to include The Steele Sports Bar as part of your everyday routine. Your support will always mean the absolute world to me.
Without further ado, let’s dive into a new-and-improved refresh of what we’re all about here…
Who Am I?
Hello there. I’m Andrew Steele and I’m a baseball writer. I cover the New York Mets for a couple of outlets, and I’ve also written about the NHL extensively for FanSided. Baseball is my ultimate passion, but I’m also a huge New York sports fan. The Jets, the Knicks and the Rangers are my teams. And, yes, I clearly love suffering based on those choices.
What You Can Expect From TSSB?
I’m a sports writer for a living but, more importantly, I’m a sports fan at heart and I’ll always root for the teams and the sports I love with a burning passion. Furthermore, being a sports fan should be nothing but fun and I want to reflect that in how we cover things here at The Steele Sports Bar. I want to write for the everyman sports fan.
I want to put the passion and feel back into sports writing and sports journalism.
I’ll be focusing mainly on Major League Baseball and America’s National Pastime will form the bulk of our everyday coverage. I’ll look to cover the hottest talking points, the latest storylines and juiciest trade rumors with a unique voice to ensure that your time spent here is well worth it.
Additionally, I’m known for having a lot of sports thoughts and musings. I’ll package them up and share them with you all on a weekly basis. Depending on what is going on in the sports world at any given time, you might get a flood of my random opinions a couple of times a week. Plus, as I already mentioned, I’m a passionate New York sports fan and there will be Rangers, Knicks and Jets specific content throughout the year. My ‘Confessions of a long-suffering Jets fan’ diary will return once NFL Training Camps open. I’ll also have details on a new feature where my love for my New York sports teams will take center stage. Basically, if something noteworthy happens with the Rangers, Knicks or Jets, or I just need to vent and get something off my chest, that will be the place to go.
Furthermore, I’ll be bringing back The Andrew Steele Podcast soon, and I’ll be joined by special guests from throughout baseball and the wider sports world on a weekly basis. I’ll also look to eventually incorporate video into what we do here.
I’d also love your feedback. If there is a particular team / player you want me to cover, or you want to engage in a good old sports debate, feel free to email me: andrewsteeledavis22@gmail.com. I’ll strive to always respond.
Why Subscribe?
By subscribing, you will be supporting my work and also supporting independent journalism and the beauty of the written word. You will not miss a single thing by becoming a subscriber. Everything we do here will remain free of a paywall, although you can become a paid subscriber if you wish to help support the future growth of this website. For those who are able to upgrade to a paid subscription, I will be introducing exclusive Zoom chats with special guests, mailbags and other unique features to make your paid investment worth it.
The bottom line, however, is I am already beyond grateful for all my free subscribers who have made and continue to make this endeavor possible. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to write about sports for a living on a daily basis. You are instrumental to what I’m trying to build here. And I’ll always strive to work hard to serve you every single day. I’m beyond blessed as a sports writer and as a person to have your support.
