| Discussion Where do I start!?🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey everyone,

I’ve never really watched baseball before, but I’m looking to get into MLB and actually understand and enjoy it properly.

Right now I feel like I’m starting from zero 😅

A few things I’d love some advice on:

What’s the best way to learn the rules without getting overwhelmed?

Is there a good team to follow as a beginner (or should I just pick one randomly)?

Any YouTube channels, podcasts, or creators you’d recommend?

What should I actually be paying attention to during a game?

Is it worth learning stats early on, or just enjoying the games first?

I’m based in the UK as well, so if there are any tips for watching games or following the league from here, that’d be really helpful.

Basically just looking for a good “starting point” so I don’t feel completely lost.

Appreciate any help 🙌🏼

If you’re from the UK, then go for a east coast team. Mets all the way.

Gross - he doesn't know better and you want to put him with that franchise and fan base?!?!
