The way that we consume baseball plays an important role in why, and how, we enjoy it. Of course for me and most others, the overwhelming majority of my baseball watching experience was through a television (or at least some kind of screen). A staple of this experience for me has always been the final game of any given day coming to a close. Monday night, actually Tuesday morning, the Yankees and Mariners game was the final major league contest to finish.
One of the most satisfying things about baseball is how so many things serve as checklists to be completed.
