2021 Spring Baseball Titles: Free Agency, the Players' Strike, the Wild-Card Era, Cool Papa Bell and an Unlikely Friendship

Noted New York Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld has a routine that describes how some people feel about the modern game of baseball:

“Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify, because the players are always changing, the team can move to another city. You're actually rooting for the clothes, when you get right down to it…. You are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city. Fans will be so in love with a player, but if he goes to another team, they boo him. This is the same human being in a different shirt; they hate him now.”
