Wow, the season is over. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was sitting on my couch, scrolling through twitter to see that the lockout had finally concluded and we would have baseball again. I never realized how much I cherish this great game until that point and it makes it even more emotional now that the season is over.
Obviously, the playoffs are arguably the best part of baseball. All the intensity from the heat of being in October. It all comes down to the wire and whatever happens in October, stays in October.
This season had so many great and historic moments and in my opinion it was probably the best season of baseball I've ever watched. From Miggy's 3000th hit to Albert's 700th homer to Judge's 62nd, this season was so magical and showed the world why baseball is the best game on the planet.
So many surprises this season and that is what makes baseball the best. The fact that the Mets lead the division for 175 out of the 183 total days in the regular season, yet still lost the division shows that you're never out of it in baseball. Or how the youngest team in the league made the playoffs and won the division.
For those who say baseball is boring, you're wrong. It deserves the title as America's pastime and it should be cherished as America's Pastime more widely across the country. Baseball needs the respect it deserves because I am sure going to miss it as the summer months wind down and the cool air takes over.
