It’s still a week after the final game of the season but that was a great series to watch and replay.
Go watch if you haven’t already.
Did you watch last’s night’s World Series game? I’m not a Dodgers’ fan but that was a thrilling series. Go watch it if you haven’t already.

Last night I found out that Ryne Sandberg passed away. It took me a while to realize my connection to him.
He was the cover athlete on the Super Bases Loaded video game of the SNES. That was the first baseball game that ever I owned. I had many good memories while playing that game.
I pray that God comforts his family in this transition period.

MLB Unveils 2025 All-Star Game Caps
I’m have always been a fan of the novelty, one-off uninforms for special occasions like the All-Star Game, Fathers’ Day, and Mothers’ Day.
Take a look and let me know what you think!

An interesting quirk from the uniwatch world!
A new season means there are new changes especially with the uniforms! Check out this extensive essay on all the changes with the MLB dress code.
Can you believe that UniWatch has been doing this since 1999? That’s before the turn of the century!

Yeah I know that the season started over two weeks ago. But it’s better late than never.
The official official start of the season is today. Let’s go Mets:
The New York Mets (or “Metropolitans” as Steve Somers used to call them) are my favorite baseball team. I have been a fan a long time. Actually, I am a fan of all the New York sports teams. I became a more of a Mets fan because they play in the National League. (I didn’t like teams that played in the American League because I thought that it was unfair to the teams in Canada and their fans.)
The 2024 season has been a pleasant surprise, when one considers how disappointing last season was and the lackluster offseason moves that were made by the front office. Francisco Lindor has been fantastic and Jose Iglesias has been a revelation this year.
Because of the new qualification rules, the Mets have a chance for the postseason. At 50-47 they are ABOVE .500 and in the final wild card spot as of this writing. Hopefully, they continue their winning ways into the postseason (and a World Series title) and carry that momentum into next season when they face the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.
I really like how MLB doesn’t wait until the current season to end to release their schedule for the next season. With that said they just released their schedule for 2024. This means that Mets have released their schedule.
This is the second year of the “balanced” schedule The Mets will play the other 29 teams. They will play each team in the NL for a home and away series and each team in the AL for at least one series (home or away). In the past the schedule was unbalanced (only facing the other teams in the NL plus some select AL teams).
The Mets start the season at home vs. the Milwaukee Brewers and finish the season away at the Brewers. This is a nice little quirk for the Nets and gives some symmetry for the season.
This is my first baseball post of the season. I came across this interesting video about TV broadcast angles in MLB games. I’ve always found this aspect of viewing games to be fascinating. Take a look.
