NYT: Blog Helps a Yankee Connect With Fans

[Phil] Hughes has seen a lot on his Web site, philhughes.wordpress.com, since starting it Jan. 16. Through Monday afternoon, the site had attracted more than 340,000 visitors from six continents.

Hughes has posted entries on 27 of the first 41 days, offering contests, chats, song lists and the occasional cellphone picture — an alligator on a golf course, Ian Kennedy’s changeup grip, buckets of fan mail in the clubhouse…

Other Yankees have official Web sites, including Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Chien-Ming Wang. Their sites are heavy on graphics and maintained through MLB.com. Jeter updated his journal four times in 2007, and Rodriguez once.

See, kids, true Yankees update their blogs more than once.
