Of all team sports, none is even close to being as unique as baseball. Football, Basketball, Soccer, and Hockey all have clocks which can save you or hurt you. Not in baseball. You have to get 27 outs to win. In the others, the offense initiates all of the action. Not baseball. With the exception of a daring runner, nothing happens until the pitcher/defense throws the ball. In the others, there really is no structural home field advnatage. There is in baseball. Home team get the last at bat. All of these factors were in play yesterday in the MLB playoffs. What great games!
