The season has started if you didn’t know already and after about 1 week into the season it’s hard to get too excited about anything yet. It doesn’t matter if your favorite team is first or last in their division because with 162 games in a season there is so much time to let things take shape. And that is one of the things I like about MLB, the season is so damn long and provides hundreds of opportunities to grab some beer and chill out in front of the TV or listen on the radio while you work outside. Attending a live game is even better, be it a road trip to a major ball park or just up the road to see the Smokies.
Beer is essential to baseball enjoyment, though stronger spirits like bourbon or vodka are occasionally appropriate. There is no room for wine in the sport unless you count celebration champagne at the end of the season, or if you’re a woman. Beer is king in baseball for all the right reasons: it is light, cold, refreshing, inexpensive, and allows you to drink through 3-4 hours of mostly dull entertainment. Compared to other major sports I’d guess that beer consumption via baseball out sells all the rest due to the length of the schedule and total number of games played. Of course I don’t have any stats to back this up, I’m just guessing. The point is that from now until the playoffs in October you have over 2,000+ games as an excuse to drink beer. Not that you need an excuse to drink beer anytime, mind you.

Atlanta Braves, yeah I pull for these guys, they’re my team for better or worse. Screw the Boston Red Sox. Fuck the New York Yankees. The Cincinnati Reds are for tossers and sheep shaggers.
Nice lint roller.
