- For Vin Scully continuing to call Dodgers games
- For Mike Trout going over the wall to make a catch
- For Tony LaRussa finally getting the hell out of the dugout
- For Grinnell - even if it's for just one night, under highly artificial circumstances - being the lead story on SportsCenter
- For the return of the great baseball beards. Prince, Sergio, guys - the Al Hrabosky fans of the world remember and love you for it.
- For Duke losing to Lehigh in the NCAA tournament
- For post-race NASCAR pit row fights, which top even baseball brawls in their ridiculousness
- For the chance to see the AAA championship game, even if it was a beatdown of epic proportions
- For major leaguers coming through minor league towns on rehab assignments
- For the way the Oakland A's won the AL West, and the guys they won it with
- For the work of writers like Craig Calcaterra, Joe Posnanski, Keith Law, and many others
- For the fact that Don Fehr has work that isn't in baseball
- For those random moments when people occasionally shut up about steroids and just watched the damn games
- For MLB picking a good song as their postseason anthem
- For the slow, slow steps towards trying to do something about concussions in sports, which are a damn sight better than the fast, fast coverups that used to be out there
- For Toronto Blue Jays fans having hope for a change
- For Tim Tebow sitting on the bench
- For the guys getting off it
- And for having the chance to yammer about this stuff occasionally to you guys.
