"The MY FAVORITE SEASONS, FROM LEAST FAVORITE TO MOST FAVORITE, 1969-PRESENT series is predicated on the notion that, essentially, every season is your old apartment. You moved in when the year began. Your lease was up when the year ended. You moved out and moved on. You carry with you the life you lived through that season. You leave; the feeling remains."
"I began the countdown of the seasons of my baseball life two Decembers ago, starting at No. 55 and eventually working my way up to No. 3 this past March. By then, because thinking and writing took me longer than I suspected when I started all this, I still wasn't done, meaning a 56th entry needed to be inserted for the season that had most recently ended at that point."
"But I can't overlook that a 57th season in my baseball life has transpired during the extended MY FAVORITE process, specifically the season we moved out of at 5:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time on September 28, 2025. On Saturday, December 27, 2025, at 4:35 AM Eastern Standard Time, we will reach the Baseball Equinox, that delicious instant when we stand equidistant between last season and next season."
Every season is framed as an old apartment—occupied from the year's start to its end, then vacated while feelings and memories remain. A countdown ranks seasons of a baseball life from least to most favorite, begun two Decembers ago and progressed through numbered entries, with occasional insertions for seasons that ended during the process. A 57th season concluded at 5:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time on September 28, 2025, and the Baseball Equinox arrives on December 27, 2025 at 4:35 AM Eastern Standard Time, a moment equidistant between last season and next. The upcoming season opens March 26, 2026 at 3:10 PM EDT. Boxes from the last season still await removal before returning the keys.
