There’s still a month until baseball’s opening day but it’s my light at the end of the tunnel dammit and I’m gazin away.

Baseball’s regular season runs from April until September and there are 162 games. So, I’m asking: are you ready to Play Ball?

It’s time for the biggest “pick” of the football season! Who will win the Super Bowl? Thought I better remind you of my Rules so you can be sure to be a winner at the parties!

In general baseball converation and game recaps you can make do with just knowing the “homeruns” and faking it from there. But not during the actual game! Especially watching it on t.v. Then there are terms like base hit, line drive, pop up, double, RBIs all flying around the room, or field as the case may be.

But I promise, it’s not so bad. Most of those weird terms are just different types of hits based on where the ball landed and how it got there. And they are important because not everyone scores from home runs, plenty of guys score the hard way by making their way around the bases.

So how do you score in baseball if you don’t hit a homerun?

Sure you know the lyrics, but what do they mean? What’s a strike? Why is he out? What’s a ball versus a strike? What the heck is “The count is 0 and 2″

The AL and NL of the MLB. OMG, what? Lol.

Okay, this may be a bit dull, but you have to have a handy cheat sheet of terms to know and love or the game will go way over your head. This is the beginner class, there will be more advanced terms later on once these are mastered!

Baseball. The great American pasttime. It’s the sport where if you manage to hit the ball a whopping 30% of the time, you are a good player.

I may come down a little hard on baseball and it’s serious lack of excitement. But, baseball is not as boring as it seems, especially live!
