MLB 2022

Season starts proper tomorrow. Hard to see beyond the LA Dodgers, assuming they can keep their roster fit, but maybe the Blue Jays can challenge from the American League. Still don’t think the White Sox have enough to go further into the post season, unfortunately.

With the cricket season starting tomorrow, too, summer must be close.

Have a passing knowledge of baseball from American friends. I have heard a few times that the White Sox are a more blue collar team than the cubs in Chicago. Would be interested in your take on this as a fan . Do you see a bit of city in them ?
 
I follow the Jays and it's the best for a few years. A really fun group to watch as well. The pen compared to last year is massively improved.

There are always maps of the country showing where teams draw their support from, and the Cubs always appear more popular at the state level, popular even into neighbouring states. The White Sox are typically shown as drawing their support from inside the city and more from the Southside, which is historically poorer, with maps showing the city divided north and south. Neither club has ever enjoyed great success (3 World Series apiece).

Yeah thats a pretty special achievement to get 3000 hits and 500 HR's and pretty much all as a tiger as well. Nice to see tiger stadium full and celebrating that, been a while since they've had much to cheer.
