    Some words from contributors of Raines30.com

    Neate Sager

    John Brattain seemed to spread warmth and cheer into every nook and cranny of the web, which made it much easier to have a writing addiction... Speaking personally, John sought me out for the raines30.com page a while ago. It was an act of courtesy and consideration which will never be forgotten.

    Jonah Keri

    Just minutes after [my first Baseball Prospectus] article was posted, I got the very first feedback email of my sportswriting career.

    The Subject was: "DUDE!!!!!!!"
    
        Jonah:
    
        Great column on BP! Kudos and congrats guy! Never
        too many Expos fans writing on the game eh!
    
        More to follow I hope.
    
        Best Regards
    
        John
    
    Never too many, John. I only wish we didn’t just lose one of the best.
