Youth Will Be Served as MLB Campaign Promotes Drama of the Game

Much of the enduring appeal of baseball lies in its seemingly inexhaustible capacity for surprise, and while the game is defined by the imperatives of geometry and a 160-page rule book, it's the unpredictable stuff that makes baseball such a confounding delight. Even the players aren't wholly immune; recall the Cubs' Anthony Rizzo motoring into third base in the top of the 10th inning of the insanely diverting seventh game of the 2016 World Series, clutching his head and mouthing the words, "Oh my God" over and over and over again while 40 million fans tuning in on Fox effectively did the exact same thing. Whoa! is why we watch.
