Meet the Bloggers: Bryan Mapes
When the Yankees-Orioles American League Division Series shifted to The Bronx for Game 3, we caught up with Braves fan Bryan Mapes to showcase his 3 Up, 3 Down blog as the latest subject of our new Meet the Bloggers MLB.com video series. I've spent much of this season over at our MLB Fan Cave, and I know that Bryan, as one of the original Fan Cave applicants who submitted a video last winter, has not only continued to interact with friends he made among the nine Cave Dwellers, but also has been going strong with a blog that shows a lot of versatility from multiple contributors.
I was lucky enough to be featured for 3U3D on MLBlogs "Meet the Bloggers" while I was at Yankee Stadium. Special thanks to Mark Newman and Matt Latimer for helping with the great opportunity! Hope you enjoy!

Congratulations, Bryan, on being featured. Also, thanks for the shout-out. Prior to the interview, I had no clue how 3U3D came into existence. I have a whole new level of appreciation (if that’s the right word) for the blog. In that you guys coming together as a result of the MLB Fan Cave contest makes it so much more awesome, and even though it probably shouldn’t have, it gives the blog a sense of “credibility”. I don’t know why, but knowing that all of you guys tried-out for the Fan Cave and aren’t *completely* random people adds a je ne se qua to the equation that makes me love the whole idea of the blog. (Perhaps including this in the blog’s description up top?) I have a feeling I had more things to add on to this comment. But whatever they were, I forgot them while I was filming a video of my own. In any case, nice job and thank you again; I truly am honored.
