As the calendar turns from summer to fall, many people are focused on regular routines and getting back to the full time grind of work and school. But the fall months are the best months of the year for one reason.

This is the best time of the year because all of the major sports are back on at the same time. The summer is great and all, but there is only so much tennis and golf one man can watch before he contemplates gouging his eyes out.

But yes, fall…. hockey, basketball, football and of course, the baseball postseason. Fall is the time of year where every sports fanatic has options. The Jays are down ten runs? Switch over to hockey and watch Crosby battle McDavid. Raptors are down 20? No worries! You can switch over to some World Series action and watch LA and Cleveland battle for baseball’s highest honour.

Yes, fall is the time of year where everything in the world seems right again. Where one’s evening insists of sitting on the couch with baseball on the TV and hockey on the laptop.

The sports world has a way of making everyone feel ok. Where a person can cast all of their cares and worries away and watch their favourite teams in multiple different sports.

Welcome back fall. Oh, how we’ve missed you.
