It's not a midsummer night's dream: The 2024 MLB season is nearly half over.
The timing of this annual occurrence is always a bit incongruous, coming less than a week after the official start of summer, but facts are facts. We're halfway home. Barring any postponements, the 1,215th game of the campaign (out of an eventual 2,430) will be when the Cubs face the Giants at Oracle Park on Thursday afternoon.
And so, as we did last season, we're using this milestone as an excuse to dole out some recognition to players and teams that have dominated in the first half of the season.
