Personally I’m excited, as long as it gives more insight to the daily routine of a baseball player and all the things that come into play with running a baseball team for a full season. But I hated the over-dramatization of F1’s Drive to Survive, so I feel a little apprehension.

    As a Brit with little to no knowledge of American sports systems (the games I get, but the systems behind them I don’t). I’ve really enjoyed the Netflix shows, Last Chance U, The Maple Leafs doc, and a couple of others, the Florida Gators doc etc.

    They do a good job in my opinion. It’s a been a good gateway. Good insights if you are coming in knowing nothing.

      Yeah I get that. I’m Dutch myself and I grew up playing baseball but the distance and the lack of people to talk to make it difficult to pick up on the intricacies behind the game. Even the guys I played with weren’t really following the MLB. And coverage here is almost exclusively focused on football.
