The American League:
Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels:

We started our journey in Western New York and drove through Niagara Falls into Canada. There were seven of us, on a mission to see [...]

The Major League Baseball All-Star game is next Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. This is one of the only all-star games that I care about in any capacity. It’s most likely because the game is usually close and the winning league gets home-field advantage in the World Series, so [...]
