How to survive Thanksgiving as a baseball fan: Volume 2 (Big League Stew)

It's that time of year again: Thanksgiving!

The meaning of Thanksgiving is self-explanatory. It's a day to celebrate all that we're thankful for in life, with the added perks of gathering with friends and family to share laughs, eat turkey sandwiches and watch wall-to-wall football coverage.

All of that sounds perfect, unless of course you're a baseball fan craving nachos, hot dogs, peanuts and actual baseball providing an escape. Sorry, folks, that's not how it works. Thanksgiving will do little to satisfy those cravings. Instead, you'll be stuck with Joe Buck and Phil Simms as background noise, and you'll be reminded how far removed we are from the World Series, and how far we still are from spring training.
