After over a week of play, I am so happy the game I love the most is back!  Here are just a few things that make the greatest game even better.

In no particular order …

1. Smooth double-plays … you have to love the way the ball is whipped around the diamond almost effortlessly.

2. Diving catches in the outfield … c’mon, it’s just awesome!

3. Hot dogs!  Since when did meshed up pig remains become so appropriately tasty???

4. Home runs … chicks dig the long ball!

5. Fans going after foul balls — I mean, it is really the only time a grown man can out-run a kid and take something the kid wants and get away with it … even if it is mean!

6. Student ticket night … if you take it with a grain of salt, some of the drunk college kids say some funny damn things!

7. Bleacher seats … where the rowdiness begins and never ends!

8. God Bless America at the 7th inning stretch at Yankee Stadium … for this soldier/war veteran, I enjoy it when homage is paid to my fellow brethen.  Every team should do it every game.

9. Getting out of the gate fast … who cares if it’s only a week??  Speculating about an O’s-Royals ALCS would be awesome!

10. Winning!  Doesn’t it seem like every game matters?
