Chicago Sports In Haiku began in May, 2008 as The Cubs In Haiku. I combined my passion for the Cubs with a somewhat less passionate interest in haiku to create a simple blog. Instead of detailed analysis or fan rants, I'd post a game summary or highlight in the style of the Japanese haiku - 17 syllables for each Cubs game.
Earlier this year I started working with the people at ChicagoNow to create a new home for The Cubs In Haiku. That evolved into the unique concept of a haiku blog covering all major sports team in Chicago. Chicago Sports In Haiku was born.
Thanks to Jimmy Greenfield and the folks at ChicagoNow for helping to refine the concept, design our masthead and get us settled in our new home.
Here's a quick intro to the Chicago Sports In Haiku bloggers:
