Patriot-News Scores With Baseball Coverage
The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, Pa., for years a second rate daily despite its status as the newspaper of the state capital, has upgraded its baseball coverage considerably. Not content to compete with regional rivals in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Pittsburgh, the Patriot News baseball coverage now rivals all coverage nationally, including the Arizona Republic, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kansas City Star, Dallas Morning News, Rocky Mountain News and other strong newspapers that place a premium on baseball coverage. The Patriot News web address is Pennlive.com.
