Sports Baseball Is Suddenly Interesting

Baseball is a 162 game season which, if you include Spring Training and the World Series, stretches from February to November. Even as a huge fan, it’s easy to understand why people get a little bored with this slow-moving sport and it’s three hour games.

But right now, as the season comes to a close, baseball is suddenly pretty damn exciting. Seven teams are battling it out for a couple playoff spots and the New York Mets are on the cusp of one of the greatest collapses in baseball history. In honor of all my friends who unfortunately root for the Mets, I give you a song that will shed some light in your time of darkness.

Wait, why is it exciting again? The same sport played the same way hundreds of times a year on various enhanced drugs?

It's exciting again because, no matter how political or cynical you may be, sometimes all you want is to see a ball game, and have some fun. And if your favorite team is in the hunt, all the better. Go Phillies!
