Looking Back at Four Years of Mirth

This here blog is celebrating its fourth anniversary this weekend. We've updated our banner, with a return to the empty stadium motif we all know and love. Earlier today, Ted told the backstory of how Marlins Diehards came to be. I will close the navel-gazing circle with a look back at our ten favorite MDH posts. This was actually more difficult than I thought it would be.

Here they are, in chronological order:

1. Introducing... The Miami Marlins (3/27/09): Our most-clicked post ever, with over 35,000 pageviews. SEO gold...
2. The Renyel Pinto Flow Chart (4/30/09): Oldie but goodie.
3. Children of the Marlins Diaspora: Charles Johnson (2/19/10): CJ will always be my favorite Marlin.
4. An Immodest Proposal (6/24/10): Our oft-reprised plea to do away with managers. Definitely my favorite post.
5. Geography and Demography (1/26/11): This is exactly the kind of nerdy piece that this blog was made for. 
6. A 10-Fingered Antonio Alfonseca (5/21/11): Discussing our two favorite good/terrible closers, Antonio Alfonseca and JuanCarlosLeoOviedoNunez.
7. Pay No Attention to D-Roves (6/5/11): Making fun of Darren Rovell: Never not worthwhile.
8. This Day in History (6/17/11): Wherein we went to a Marlins game for Ted's birthday and watched the OJ Simpson Bronco chase on the Jumbotron.
9. Is This It? (9/20/11): Ted discovers a leaked new Marlins logo, blasts it on Twitter, and people lose their shit.
10. Not Now Hanley (7/31/12): We ♥ Ryan Webb

Thanks for reading! (Not that we'd stop if no one reads us). Here's to more years of snark and nerdery...
