About me:
Mike Silva’s New York Baseball Digest is an independent media source that provides news, opinions, analysis, and features on New York baseball. We cover the game in audio, print, and video.
Mike Silva, its founder, is a freelance professional that started in the industry in 2007. He believed his ten years of experience managing fortune 500 brands would allow him to create a fresh look at the game of baseball.
On March 26th, 2007 he launched “New York Baseball Talk” on 1240 AM WGBB. Every Sunday he would have two hours of talk dedicated to baseball. Rather than just take calls and fabricate debate, he delved deeper than the box score to know the real reason why the local teams had success or failure. Athletes, journalist, and authors were featured on the show each week. New York Baseball Talk was one of the first radio shows to incorporate blogs and independent media. It truly was a one stop shop for all types of baseball talk.
In November of 2007 he joined Gotham Sports Media to host their “Gotham Baseball Live”. He was instrumental in developing their online radio website Gotham Sports Radio. He also was a feature writer for Gotham Baseball Magazine and covered both New York teams in Florida in March of 2008.
In May of 2008 he decided to go completely independent and create his own brand called Mike Silva’s New York Baseball Digest. Rather than just be a radio show, “NYBD” would embrace various types of new media. NYBD is a digest of New York baseball news, opinion, rumors, and analysis. Mike has a weekly radio show featured on Blog Talk Radio and 1240 AM WGBB. There is a staff of contributors that include authors, mainstream reporters, and bloggers. Mike also writes features at Dugout Central, a site owned by former Yankees third baseman Mike Pagliarulo.
The impact of NYBD was immediate as on September 23rd, 2008 Joe Demayo, one of our key contributors, was credited by SI’s Jon Heyman for breaking the Omar Minanya contract extension. The following month VERSUS had Mike participate in a roundtable with comedian Matt Iseman of “Sports Soup”. NYBD has also been featured in USA Today and the New York Times Online. Mike’s work at NYBD and Dugout Central has been featured as well LoHud Yankees Blog, Bergen Record’s Pinstripe Posts, Can’t Stop the Bleeding, and Rob Neyer of ESPN. You can read each below.
You can contact Mike to submit an idea, request an interview, or have him make an appearance. He welcomes all sorts of new ideas and business opportunities.
