The MLB postseason is now underway, which means that it is the most exciting time of year for those who love to watch America’s Pastime. I will certainly enjoy watching October baseball, and am eager to see which team will ultimately raise the Commissioner’s Trophy at the end of the World Series.

The MLB regular season has reached its annual apex, as all the playoff battles are still anyone’s to win (or lose).

In nearly every job in the United States, there are harsh punishments for breaking the law, especially when it comes to violence.
