Historically, September marks a time of transition as students return to school, the weather begins to turn, and “leaf-peeping” reenters the American lexicon. For baseball fans, September is a special month. It marks the final full month of the regular season, the last chance to have everyday baseball before the long, dark winter, and the closing push for teams trying to qualify for the playoffs. It also means September call-ups when teams get to expand their rosters to allow talented prospects to get their first “cup of coffee” or bring up additional pitching depth for the closing month.
