2016 Major League Baseball (MLB) Playoffs

The month of October is a feeding frenzy for sports fanatics. Professional (and college) football have gotten underway with their respective seasons, with basketball and ice hockey not far behind. And linking these major sports together is baseball’s last hurrah -- the Major League Baseball Playoffs, which begin Tuesday, October 4th with the American League Wild Card game.

Talk about a lot of games! Nothing in the American sports world quite compares with Major League Baseball, which encompasses a 162-regular game season played by 30 professional teams from the early days of springtime through the beginning of the fall season.
