I HAVE ALWAYS said that the baseball season is my favorite season. A single baseball game during the regular season isn't quite as exciting as an NFL game or a great college basketball tilt, but nothing compares to the baseball season. Because there are so many games and it spans more than half of the year, it has an ebb and flow about it unlike any other sport.
If you thought your team was a contender but by the middle of June it is five games under .500, you were despondent. But then they rip off an eight-game winning streak and they are right back in the thick of things.
