There is baseball all around and all year round. With no MLB during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic, I had to get my baseball fix elsewhere. It opened my eyes to a bunch leagues that were totally new to me. I'm currently watching the CPBL (Go UniLions!). I've also talked about Baseball Bundesliga, ABL, KBO, NPB, and MLB & MiLB. I love a good mascot (see Sababoy & Lion).
