The jitters of the regular season are approaching along with the thrill of summer days spent in a ballpark. Whether it is minor leagues, youth sports, or professional baseball, the game of baseball is more than a game. These predictions are heartfelt and coming from a fan of the game that I love and follow passionately.

While there may be a little bias in there, these are still my opinions and how I see the regular season going. More than likely, I will be proven wrong and that is the fun of predictions. Laying down bold statements and insane choices, it is all a mystery and someone always generally steps up.

2015 was an exciting Major League Baseball season as we were presented with new playoff teams who put on quite a show. For 2016, I expect much of the same and many young players taking it to the next level for a bright future of the game.

Whether your team begins on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, it will be great to have the game back.
