Major League Baseball is back and the 2017 season is full of reasons to celebrate. From the Cubs historic World Series win last year (and fans wondering if they can do it again) to the excitement that came from Team USA’s thrilling victory over Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, there is a lot to look forward to.
