It’s a long season, and we baseball fans know how long a 162-game season can drag. At the same time, it doesn’t take a lot for us to get fired up about our favorite team early in the year.
A three-game losing streak in April is enough to cause panic. Blowing a ninth-inning lead on a Sunday in the first week of May creates a rise in blood pressure. It is easy to forget how long a baseball season is. A perfect example of a franchise that started slow, only to turn things around is the last team to win a World Series in Pittsburgh.
