The Baseball playoffs have started. I love watching playoff baseball, even if this year's Jewish holiday calendar interferes more than I'd like. The whole feel of the game is different, although I agree with Bob Costas that three rounds of playoffs is one too many. (Yes, I know that that means that the Red Sox, Angels, and Marlins wouldn't have made the postseason. Too bad.)
I followed the Orioles as a kid, and celebrated their 1983 Series win, but was really spoiled by the 1985 and 1986 playoffs. Go look them up.
