As many of you may have read, the Washington Nationals hosted a Blogger Day a few weeks ago during which we were able to interview several players, one being Adam Dunn. In many of the blogs, Adam was quoted as saying to us, “I don’t even know what a blog is,” which resulted in much laughter. Well, it looks like he figured it out!
Today it was announced that Adam Dunn would begin blogging on MASNsports.com. According to MASN, Adam has forged a partnership with the network that will include a monthly blog of self-selected topics in addition to a weekly video segment in which he will answer questions submitted directly from the fans. The blog and video segment will both appear on MASNsports.com.
“To talk to fans directly, answer their questions, and be able to explain what we do out here every night — that’s a pretty unique opportunity,” said Adam Dunn. “I’m obviously new to blogging, but I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Adam will also participate in several Wired Wednesday segments throughout the rest of the 2009 season. In case you are not one of the reported 9,000 folks who watch games on TV, Wired Wednesday involves players wearing a microphone during the game for the enjoyment of the viewers. The segment works best with players full of personality, and watching Adam wired up should be fun.
As part of their announcement, the network stated the following:
“MASN is proud to be the home of Adam’s new blog, which will surely showcase his energy, enthusiasm, humor, and humility. It will be a great platform for fans to get to know more about Adam, both on and off the field,” said MASN spokesman Todd Webster. “On television and online, MASN continues to implement new features that bring fans closer to the game and the Nationals.”
Unfortunately, MASN’s announcement did not give a definite start time and only states that his blog will appear “soon.” We’ll keep you posted when we know more.

I thought it was pretty funny that after Adam announces he doesn’t really know what a blog is, he ends up starting one! I look forward to reading it once he gets it all figured out.

I always enjoy Wired Wednesdays as well as the Thursday Covering the Bases features. Will look forward to reading Dunn’s blog.
