The wildly popular CheerUPDATES Twitter feed started off simply enough. DJ Yeager, then a coach for the now-shuttered Galaxy program, was traveling to the Majors in 2012, and his athletes wanted play-by-play updates from the competition. “I didn’t want to send out a ton of text messages,” says Yeager. “I decided to start a Twitter account instead.” Word spread quickly, and by the end of that first evening, CheerUPDATES accumulated 500 followers.
