There’s 200 days or so of baseball to come this season and it can be quite intimidating to jump into the deep end of the baseball viewing pool.
To help, Refrigerator Logic is providing a list of reasons to watch every Major League Baseball team for the 2008 season. Anyone that’s read all the team lists should be able to pull up the MLB schedule on any day in early June and find reasons to enjoy any contest on the board that night.
Please join in the comments to add your own reasons. Tell everyone why your team is worth three and a half hours of their lives on any given day. Make us care and we’ll be there with a tasty beverage and an appreciation for what you feel each time your team takes the field.
Reunion Tour
This is the year of the homecoming Brave. In an unexpected move, the Braves invited Javy Lopez to camp. Lopez came in this spring with a story of hope about committing himself to his catching prowess in the offseason and hoping to back up Brian McCann this year. Braves fans could not be more thrilled to see him again in the ol’ warpaint and have been cheering him endlessly. If you have a lazy afternoon and a bit of a nostalgic heart, tune in to see if Javy’s behind the plate in Atlanta. Braves fans will reward you for your time; hopefully, he’ll do the same in return.
However, the big reacquisition has to be Tom Glavine in a one-year farewell (?) national tour. After breaking hearts four years ago by traveling to the NL East rivals in Flushing, he returns for a final lap around the mound. While it’s likely at this point that he will be headlining an oldies show with little chance at a #1 album, he still has the same old needs just like any traveling band of warriors.
As part of his $8m contract this year, he has full run of a suite on the road. Of course, any good performer has specific requests for his tour. In a Refrigerator Logic exclusive, we’ve secured part of his rider for the suite, pictured below.
