For reference, here are some things I think about when I think about baseball:

1. I love baseball. I think it's the best.
2. I actually watch games. Lots of them. Too many, my wife would say.
3. I played little league baseball as a kid. I had a good arm and decent baseball instincts and I excelled at it until the kids started pitching instead of the coaches. It was all downhill from there. Now I play with my nephews and I'm way better than them.
4. I don't think computers/stats/numbers/spreadsheets tell me everything I need to know about baseball.
5. I wish managers argued more with umpires.
6. I think scouts are important.
7. I like dirty uniforms, timely hits, and players who seem to love playing the game as much as I love watching it.
8. I love that managers, coaches, and players all wear the same uniform.
9. I like small ball AND Earl Weaver baseball.
10. I like blowouts, pitchers' duels, and game-winning hits.
11. I like that pitchers have to hit but I wish they were better at it.
12. I wish they'd bring back the bullpen car and player-managers.
13. I wish I were still excited about the All-Star Game.
14. I wish there were more mustaches in baseball.
15. I wish players and managers would speak their minds to the media.
16. I think players should sign more autographs.
17. I wish they'd bring back banner day.
18. I love baseball. I think it's the best.
