Ah, gratitude. The best part about gratitude is that it feels really good. Like, way, way better than being bitter about an August and September marred by disappointing regressions, sub-par offense, bad contracts, and ghost pitching (that thing when good pitching disappears). So, in the spirit of the holiday, I figured I’d lay out some things for us New Yorkers to feel grateful for (and trust me, there are a whole lot more than there were in 2013. Remember Luis Cruz?).

Other teams make developing pitching prospects look easy (looking at you, Best Fans In Baseball).
