With Spring Training games underway and the World Baseball Classic just finishing, the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) season is quickly approaching, with opening day set to occur in about a week.

At 162-game-season-long last, the calendar flips to October and the fresh air of the postseason breathes new life into baseball. If you’re like me, you’ve remained vaguely aware of baseball’s existence, but you haven’t been able to convince yourself that it really matters until now. Sure, I almost enjoyed the semi-drama of teams jockeying for
