I don't just like, wanna jump into whatever is foing on now. I want some old radio broadcasts/ links to watch old games as televised. I wanna start as far back as I can and eventually catch up. If anyone has some recommendstions/ lesson plans lemme know. I intend to be a Baseball Guy within a few years.
I got into baseball by picking a local team and following the games. I'd listen on AM radio in the car, watch as many games on tv as I could, attended 1 or 2 live a year, catch the sportscenter highlights and Baseball Tonight on ESPN. Eventually I learned the rival teams, star players, unique obstacles on specific fields (the green monster) the whole vibe of the league. I followed the early 2000s Anaheim Angels, just as they came out of nowhere and won the World Series. I got my whole family into it, we attended games and shit. It was really wholesome and I remember it fondly. Now the local team is an Angel's rival so lol
My local baseball relevancy I'd limited to Atlantic Canada and I just can't manufacture team loyalty. To me sports are as much entertainment as a long running show is and I wanna get as close to season one as possible. I'll decide who I like as I go. And yes i can easily catch up on over a century of media, I do it all the time. I know I can't begin by caring about it, I need to do a history thing and figure out who my guys and teams are from that.

Atlantic Canada and Portland are the entire width of North America apart. The closest American border is Bangor Maine and that's still a solid 12 hours in a car that I don't have and can't legally drive. New Hampshire is closer to doable but still really really fucking far. Like three day trip if all I do is be in a car and see a baseball game and I donlong distance travel via hitchhiking or hopping a train to cross borders, it's a tall order for a baseball game. Maybe if I end out getting REALLY stoked on baseball

NS, but yeah, I don't drive so it's a whole thing. Also no passport.
