With the first game seven of the World Series in almost ten years looming, it's easy to only focus on who's going to win tonight. Although, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that both the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals have overcome incredible odds and should be happy with their season no matter what the outcome.

Now that the MLB season is over and the playoff positions have been set, I can honestly say I'm pleased with the results. My New York Yankees have the best record in the American League and the Boston Red Sox didn't make the cut, it doesn't get any better than that.

Last night, New York Yankee Closer Mariano Rivera became the second closer ever to record 600 saves. The record is 601; and with two weeks left in the MLB regular season, it's safe to say that he will no doubt obtain the record.

It's been two weeks since Derek Jeter hit his 3,000th hit. Remarkably, when he did this, he became the first New York Yankee player to do it.

Earlier this week, the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup. This led to every sports talk show or sports highlight show declaring Boston as the new Title Town of America. I had to find out why such a name would be bestowed upon a city like Boston.

Tonight is the opening night for the baseball season. Usually when baseball season starts, the defending champs are on their home field. The team gets their rings during an opening ceremony that also involves raising a banner in their stadium. For as long as I have been watching the MLB that is how its been done.

Man how time flies. It seems like yesterday Derek Jeter was named rookie of the year ,for an up-and-coming Yankee team, and showed a lot of promise and hope for the future. That was 1996.
