Are YOU ready for opening day?

Baseball’s regular season runs from April till September and there are 162 games —per team! Then the postseason starts. Unlike the college basketball postseason (tournament) that is over in 10 days of gameplay, the MLB postseason goes on until the end of October.

So, I’m asking: are you ready to Play Ball? Or, well, at least watch it?

Last year we created a ton of guides to baseball–from the basics like players, positions, terms and scoring to tips on how to watch the World Series of Boredom er, Baseball.

This year, we’ll be expanding the guides and adding more advanced teachings. There will also be team and player profiles. Anyone interested in writing/promoting their favorite team (and getting free and shameless promotion to their own sites) please email assignment_desk AT stilettoSETsports DOT com.
