Maybe you think you don’t care about baseball. I get it. It’s a long season, and who has time to watch 162 games? But the World Series is different. It’s like the grand finale of a fireworks show you’ve been hearing pop in the distance all summer.
Think of it this way: it’s the Super Bowl for the rest of the year, but it lasts for over a week. You get multiple nights of high drama, not just one. Your friends at work will be talking about it, and you don’t want to be the person nodding along without a clue.
A Story About My Neighbor, Bob
My neighbor Bob doesn’t care about sports at all. He’s a gardener. Last year, during Game 6, he was outside watering his petunias. Suddenly, he heard a collective roar from every house on the block.
He walked inside, turned on the TV, and saw a diving catch that saved the game. Bob now checks the World Series schedule every October. “It’s like watching a movie with no script,” he told me. That’s the power of this event.
