6 Reasons to Thank God It's Baseball Season
Mark Duffel

I love baseball. Seriously, I wait all year for baseball season. My dad taught me as a kid how to keep score on a scorecard and I've loved it ever since. Some of my favorite memories from my childhood are going to games with my parents and my sister. Baseball is the beginning of the best time of year.

1. It means Spring and Summer are Here! (or coming eventually)...?

Yes, usually when baseball season starts Spring is in full swing. This year, it took a little longer. The season started a week early and with this insane and unpredictable weather there were a lot of games that were postponed the first couple of weeks but now, a month into the season, it finally feels like baseball...well, most of the time!

2. There's nothing like a day at the park.

You're team plays almost everyday. That means you get to watch them almost everyday. Even if they aren't playing, you can find another great game on TV.

4. Baseball is not boring.

Sure, sometimes baseball has long games. But honestly, the game is challenging. We are so used to fast-paced, action packed movies and sports that we've lost the attention span to sit down and watch a game of baseball.

5. Baseball movies are the best.

The Sandlot, the Natural, Trouble with the Curve, Field of Dreams! All great movies to watch around baseball season. I like watching the right before the season starts so I'm psyched for the rest of the season.

6. It's a great way to bond with the family.

I think baseball is a great way to bond with your family and friends. Go to the park, watch your favorite team, eat some good food, watch a good game, and have a few laughs! Even a pick up game with the family is a lot of fun.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
