The "Fall Classic" is finally here...the "World Series" begins tonight at historic Fenway Park, as the Boston Red Sox hosts the St. Louis Cardinals in game one. When I was a kid, the World Series would have been over by now, but with new playoff schedules, the series seems to start later and later in autumn. Here's what on tap for tonight.

Now that Major League Baseball is set for an exciting "World Series", I got thinking about what my favorite series was. Looking back, I would have to say that the 1979 series was one of my favorites. Why?

Now that Major League Baseball post-season play is underway, things get exciting and more of us are paying attention to the games! We've all heard about favorite football watching and tailgate snacks, but what about baseball? So, what's the number one baseball ballpark food item?

Whether you're a Yankee fan or not, you have to admire the all-time greatest closer in Major League Baseball, number 42, Mariano Rivera. "The Sand Man" announced that he's retiring at the end of the season, and last night was his last appearance at Yankee Stadium.

You gotta love it! In a recent home game against the Seattle Mariners, Prince Fielder, first baseman for the Detroit Tigers was chasing a foul ball, couldn't grab it, so he grabbed some nachos from a fan in the stands.

Over the years, I've been to a few Major League Baseball games, from Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium to Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. In my opinion, there's nothing like being there. Baseball on TV can be a slow-moving game, with camera's generally focused on the pitcher/batter, and wherever the ball is hit. But, when you're at the ballpark, you see all that's going on.

Spring has to be in the air as baseball season is on the way. On the college baseball scene, we've discovered a pitcher who can play football while playing baseball.

The World Series 2012 is here. So, if your team didn't make it, who do you root for? I had a winner on "Greg's Grill" noontime request hour yesterday, who said that he's a Yankee fan and doesn't care who wins. Hey, my team didn't make it to the series either (not even the playoffs), but I'm rooting for one of these clubs.

At Big Frog 104, we like a good laugh and know that you do too. So, I'm starting a new feature called "Just For Laughs". I called it that...just for laughs. With the baseball playoffs here, I thought a funny video with a baseball theme would be in order. Here's a hilarious interview with Billy Crystal as "Fernando", a character based on the Argentine-born actor Fernando Lamas b

The "Frog Days Of Summer" mean vacations, picnics and baseball! Tonight, Major League Baseball's 83rd All-Star Game takes place, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on FOX. The game features the best the American and National League has to offer and will be played at Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals.

The Major League Baseball 2012 regular season gets underway tonight, when the Miami Marlins host the St. Louis Cardinals at 7:05 p.m. on ESPN. Of course, this year's regular season opened last week in Japan, with the  Seattle Mariners and Oakland A's splitting a two-game series.
