Major League Baseball: How to bandwagon if your team is out

The Major League Baseball playoff race has heated up with less than two weeks to go on. However, not everyone has a team in the chase. So rest assured that we have a friendly guide for those who don’t.

Major League baseball fans come in all shapes, sizes, economical backgrounds, genders, socioeconomic statuses and political affiliations, but not all of them have a team in the playoff race. Yet, don’t we all deserve a good reason to get excited about postseason baseball?

I believe we do. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s listed in the U. S. Declaration of Independence. But some anti-baseball textbook writers left that out of your history classes.

"“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”"

Okay maybe it’s not quite there, but I believe our founding fathers certainly had baseball in mind when they framed it. After all, it’s a free country and just like high-priced, left-handed sluggers, fans should also become free agents when the regular season ends.

So no matter your approach to playoff baseball watching or regular season team affiliation, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a handy guide to use for determining which team you should cheer for as the regular season comes to an end.
