This is the final part of a three part series recounting my experience learning to like baseball.

I am still ready to party like it’s 2006, because the Mets are back in the playoffs for the first time since Beltran took that called third strike.

From the baseball god formerly known as the New York Mets’ Daniel Murphy to the clutch bats of the Kansas City Royals, both teams have a number of things working in their favor. Will the Royals find a way to inexplicably win as they have all season? Or will the Miracle Mets kick off a dynasty based on pitching in style? The Student Life sports staff foresees a close series with any advantage potentially becoming the deciding factor.
