There’s a fair case to be made that the most interesting thing that could happen to this baseball season is that it runs to its scheduled end. (If MLB’s continued existence from week to week is ordinarily a reliable constant, it now feels like a daily wildcard.) But if we limit the parameters for “interesting thing” to just that which can happen on the field, from the players, there’s still plenty to choose from.
A 60-game season is an invitation for weirdness; it takes all of baseball’s serious-minded ideas about proper sample sizes and laughs in their faces.
