As spring rolls around and the weather warms up, it' hard to stay motivated to do homework inside. Fortunately, with baseball season beginning, I know of both an excuse to be outside and a new spot to do homework (or not, your choice). Drum roll please... The baseball stadium.

Here are 10 reasons that I, and many others, are pumped that it’s finally baseball season again.

1. Warm Weather

Getting to be outside in the sunshine watching your school’s team run bases and hit home runs… it can’t get much better than that.

2. Free Entertainment

Whether you care about baseball or not, it’s something different to do. It’s better than being inside doing schoolwork!

3. The Social Aspect

Hanging out with your friends in the squeaky stadium seats is always the way to go.

4. Baseball Boys

The general consensus here is that I don’t need to elaborate on this point.

5. Nostalgia

Ah, sweet high school memories.

6. The Walk Out Songs

Some guys take this part of the game very seriously and work hard to pick the perfect song for their strut up to the plate, but we love it just as much when they add a bit of humor to the mix and go with a throwback song or one that simply just doesn’t fit the occasion.

7. Getting To See Your Friends And Classmates Play

For a small liberal arts school like Wofford, we often know exactly who is out on the field or next at bat. Knowing the players personally makes it that much more entertaining to scream their name at the top of your lungs as they stand ready for the pitch.

8. Your Average Grill-Out

Whether you like hot-dogs, hamburgers, boiled peanuts, or popcorn, sometimes the concessions make the game that much better.

9. Meeting New People

What better way to make friends than while supporting your team?

10. It is Simply America's Pastime.
