Since it is Labor Day (notice I omitted my customary u in honour of it being an American holiday and thus a proper noun), we stand at the threshold of autumn, the door leading out of summer into the death of another year. The major league season is rounding into the home stretch, with little time left for moves in the standings, and no time left for moves on the roster. The minor league season, meanwhile, is just winding down. The performances that were going to happen have happened, breakouts and breakdowns have already occurred. It’s almost time to close up shop, and time to look back and consider the season.
