Member Testimonials of the Corey Kluber Society
The Purpose of This Post
The purpose of this post, firstly, is to announce a meeting — in this case, at 7:05pm ET today (Friday) — of the Corey Kluber Society. The purpose, secondly, is to share testimonials from five totally real, and not fake, people who’ve all benefited from membership to same.

About the Society
The Corey Kluber Society (or, frequently just “the Society”) is composed of individuals all bound by their singular enthusiasm for the works and days of Cleveland right-hander Corey Kluber.

How to Attend a Meeting
To attend a meeting of the Society, one needs merely to engage in the ancient and impossibly sacred ritual known as “watching Corey Kluber’s start on television or via MLB.TV by some manner of connective device.”*

*Roughly translated from the Scythian.

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Featured Testimonials
As noted above, what follows are the actual words of real, and not fake, people regarding their membership in the Corey Kluber Society, which itself obviously isn’t fictional.

From Robert:

I joined the Corey Kluber Society (in less than a half hour) and wanted to let you know how pleased I am. This is an awesome Society that REALLY delivers! Thanks again for forming a great Society that delivers on its promise.

From Sam:

The Corey Kluber Society has been a great study aid and energy booster for me. Not only is it very luminous, but it also allows me to focus for longer periods of time. Overall I am loving the Corey Kluber Society and, as a student, I feel it plays a large role in my study habits!

From Michael:

I have a very busy lifestyle and for several years I’ve had concerns about my general health and cardiovascular system. I’ve been a member of the Corey Kluber Society for four months now. I feel like the Society is supporting both my immune and cardiovascular systems. I feel energized, which has greatly improved my moods and lifestyle as I get through my many activities with more ease.

From Michelle:

The Corey Kluber Society is courteous and friendly and always eager to help. I have referred many friends to the Society and always receive positive feedback based on its reliability and their satisfaction. Whatever the case, I highly recommend the Corey Kluber Society to all my clients.

From Darlene:

Very Nice!!! I’ve been looking for a good new Society and I found it with this! Be careful and slow the first time; once you’re in, though, it’s pure pleasure. I love the Corey Kluber Society!!!

Their WAR win total (54.2, precisely) is above both Los Angeles’s (53.4) and Arizona’s (51.0), although it’s the latter two clubs which are currently ahead of Colorado in the NL West standings.
