I am slowly but surely developing more of an appreciation for baseball. Doping scandals, racist mascots and seventh-inning stretches aside (honestly, any sport that needs to lets its viewers stand up and stretch to wake up has some serious problems), I'm starting to like the dynamic between the pitcher and the batter. Reminds me of an Old West-style showdown, with everything coming down to the split second of the pitch and the swing.
But try as I might, I just can't seem to get into the baseball post-season. For those of you who share my complete indifference to the great American Pastime, here's a good crib sheet from Slate that will give you the basics. It won't make you care, but it'll make you sound like you care.
