I agree…the overbalanced division games still proves the best team will win each division, with a little more room to stay interested and prove yourself as a team in different settings.  

If we actually end up having the best team, I want credit for devising the strategy….
 

I'm planning to go to one of the opening weekend games in KC, hopefully the weather isn't too cold and miserable! 
At Kauffman I prefer to sit on the third base line behind the visitors dugout or behind the plate in one of the upper sections to get a good view. 

Versatile….left the engine yellow in case it all breaks ?
 

Preaching to the choir here!  Appreciate the links and conversation.   As a guy who does qualitative research for a living, having ways to describe how we “know” a group isn’t working well together in a world that defaults to quantitative worldview is definitely an emerging field still.
At the end of the day, I’ve never heard someone say that the player didn’t help the team because they were “too much of a clubhouse guy.”  
I’m currently leaning into a project on some of these factors and how they impact life on the road (aka wins and losses outside of Target Field).   Keep the good info coming!

First of all, thanks for the comments!  It's nice to know where this fits on the sane-crazy spectrum.   I hadn't thought of maniacal...but that checks out.
The Corn Palace has prepared me for many things.  I am sure the experiences are identical.  
That tractor has survived and will survive more than I ever will.  But it does top out at around 6-7 mph.  Once I entered that into the spreadsheet (see today's blog), it was deemed impossible.  Plus the AC went out in the early 90's.  The painting project will be a future story, but I learned valuable lessons about how hydraulic oil and discount paint work together.  Good way for noticing new leaks though :)

I’ll always cheer you on! Will be fun to see what adventures await! Maybe, this will be the year we can watch through October?! I do remember a time I planned on becoming a female Minnesota Twin ?. ?

Good luck, Steve! 
Those games in New York and LA will certainly be a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of the Corn Palace.
