La Dodgers - Blog Posts
The Dodgers may have won the pennant, but the Mets have won my heart.
It’s only been a couple of weeks since I saw a clip of Ohtani’s HR/SB record and then the Polar Bear’s homer to claim the wild card spot in the NLDS but I feel like I’ve been a fan of this team for years.
In a way I think it’s poetic that the player that got me thinking about baseball in the first place was the player to knock out the team I immediately latched on to.
So, while it was a rollercoaster ride through the Phillies series into a 2-4 loss in the NLCS, I’m so proud of what the Mets achieved this year and where they got to considering where they started.
I may not even know when the baseball season starts up again, but I’m going to be there cheering for the Mets whenever it does.

I am autistic and most people don’t notice specifically but do notice that I’m very awkward to talk to. I also have no “normal” interests but I need something to be able to make small talk with other parents about at my kid’s events.
I’ve found football and baseball to be very popular here, and of the two, I prefer baseball. I have enjoyed the baseball games I’ve been to in my life.
I am at a loss at where to get started, though. I did buy a book about it, but I’m hopeful a baseball fan will see this and give me some tips.
