Sports....To Everything There is a Season...NOT!

Growing up as a child, it used to be that one could tell the changing of the seasons in many ways. Like the seasons, we had our sports activity schedule and the way it worked was we would play baseball from March to September, then football up until the NFL championship game which was usually around the holidays, and afterwards we would play basketball until it was time for baseball again.




With Professional Sports nowadays, there really isn't any cutoff from one sport to another as they all overlap each other. For instance, NFL Football now runs from September to February concluding with the Super Bowl. NBA Basketball and NHL Hockey have a regular season that starts at the beginning of October and runs until April, and then has a two month playoff schedule before they finally crown the champ in June! Major League Baseball also has their marathon seasons running from the beginning of April until November, that is if the weather cooperates and lets them get the games in before the snow sets in.

Being an adult, I understand that it's all driven by money, but doesn't it seem just a little strange to be watching baseball in November and hockey in June?
