Baseball’s back … kind of! Sure, the games don’t mean anything in the standings, but c’mon, how much does one game out of 162 really mean during the season, too? Honestly, that’s kind of the beauty of it!
The players are out there, they’re swinging bats, announcers are talking about the need to make contact and they’re reading local sponsors again. (Who knew how badly I needed to hear about Farmer John’s hot dogs or what PC Richards and Sons could do for me and my family?)
I already saw Tim Anderson bobble a ball, flip it in the air, grab it and fire backhand to second for the out. I’ve seen a Red Sox farmhand rob a home run. I’ve watched dozens of college teams I’ve never heard of before get out onto their carefully manicured astroturf fields, with players showing off some incredibly questionable looks.
