TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What are the two states that are used for spring training?
A: Arizona and Florida
ESPN.com
America's favorite passtime is back for college, MLB
It's a beautiful, warm spring day. In one hand, you have a delicious hot dog and in the other, you have a cold beer. The smell of fresh cut grass, the sound of wood, and pops of leather are in the air. What more beauty could you want? Yes, folks, it's that time of year again: baseball season. Professionally, spring training has already begun. Meanwhile, college baseball teams are just starting their seasons.
What can we expect this baseball season? Just recently, many top-notch players and All-Stars are in the middle of being investigated by Major League Baseball for possibly receiving illegal substances from a clinic. Included in the list is former All-Star and somewhat notorious trouble-maker Alex Rodriguez. He is known to have taken illegal substances before. How could these allegations affect the teams throughout the season?
Another thing to expect for the season is many of the top teams in
baseball might not be at the top in the end. Here are my predictions of the division winners this year. In the American League East division, even though I am a huge New York Yankees fan, I think the Baltimore Orioles will come out on top. In the American League Central Division, I think the Cleveland Indians will turn it around this year and make a strong case for themselves. In the American League West, I believe it will be a tough race between the Oakland
Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels, with the Athletics coming out on top. For the National League East, after last season's triumphant year, the Washington Nationals will again be on top of the division. In the National League Central, I'm going with the Cincinnati Reds, who have a scary lineup. Lastly, for the National League West, the race between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be the best race throughout the year with the Dodgers coming out on top.
In college baseball, our Kansas Jayhawks are 6-5 overall so far with plenty of games left. None of these games were in Lawrence; they were mostly at neutral sites with only one of the games played at the actual opposing team's stadium. The top five teams in college baseball are: North Carolina, Vanderbilt, LSU, Oregon State and Florida State. In the Big 12, Oklahoma is the only ranked team as of now, but Texas just dropped
out of the top 25. They will be the two teams the Jayhawks will need to watch out for this year.
America's pasttime is back again. Imagine wearing your favorite jersey with your favorite team on it and sitting at a game enjoying the scenery as the screams and cheers of fans around you sound off at the crack of the bat.
