As a casual fan of the sport, its hard to get invested in 1 game out of 162. Just doesn't have that impact.
But playoff baseball? Living and dying with every out and every pitch? Its exhilarating. So fun.
I don't think there's anything like it between regular season and playoffs.
A week 5 prime time game at Arrowhead is still pretty damn great, even if the playoffs are more electric.
Playoff hockey is amazing, but there's still plenty of sold out arenas and excitement as you get later in the regular season.
Regular season baseball is like going to a picnic.... a random regular season game is closer to going to a Spring Training game in Surprise than it is to playoff baseball. A lot closer.
I went to several playoff games in 2014/2015 and held back tears a couple times during my first playoff game at the K, as I have been going to games since the late 80s and hadn't ever seen anything like it. It was fucking magical. [Reply]
One thought about this video. Thank God I lived long enough to watch this video. Living in Texas at the time, all I had known was the ABC tv broadcast and the guys on that broadcast were clearly rooting for the Yankees. When Brett smashed that upper-deck home run, the home run call was almost depressing. If a Yankee had hit it, it would have been the most excited home run call in history.
So, wrapping up, FUCK ABC, FUCK the Yankees, and FUCK that shitty ABC crew that called the game.

(Yeah, I hold grudges)
That was the call by Royals TV Channel 4 guys Al Wisk and Steve Busby. [Reply]
