2) This all comes about because we keep increasing the length of the sports season, so that football lasts starts in midsummer and extends nearly till Spring, baseball starts while it's still technically winter and lasts into November. Basketball starts in mid-October and runs till June. Madness!
EDIT: And they should get off my lawn.

I'm counting games that are likely to be televised - exhibition, preseason, whatever you want to call them. I looked it up - exhibition games start the second week of March.

If I never saw another baseball game, I'd be perfectly fine with it. In fact I can't remember the last time I watched a game. Probably early teens at the oldest. My Grandfather would be disappointed - he played professional ball in the Teens of the last Century, and then umpired baseball for 57 years. I think he was in his 80s when he finally gave up the mask and chest protector.

I could take a dry 101F game so long as I'm in the shade.

Flying back to Maryland tomorrow for a 3-day visit to The Home Office. Looks like I'm going from on and off rain with temps in the 50s to (checks notes) on and off rain with temps in the 50s. At least I'll know how to dress. Last week would have been more of a problem. Hell, TODAY would have been more of a problem - the high was 36.
