I have to admit baseball season has kind of snuck up on me. Don’t get me wrong; I was still counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report and I have already tuned in to multiple baseball games on the opening weekend of spring training but the excitement did not build for me the same way it has in the past.

Maybe it was the Deontay Wilder fight being on the same weekend or the fact rain has completely dampened the start of spring sports season but I am ready to fully embrace baseball season now.
