Not a baseball fan, but even I have found this exciting, and have watched all the games. I cannot remember the last time I watched a baseball game.

My late dad was a south sider, and therefore a Sox fan. My older son assures me that my dad's spirit would forgive me for watching the Cubs, because the Sox and the Indians were bitter rivals in years past, and he is sure his grandfather would not have wanted the Cleveland team to triumph.
