pennant fever

Say what you will about the other leagues, but nobody has play-off chases like the major leagues. It is primarily because not every good team makes the playoffs each year. In the NBA, NHL, and NFL, so many teams are accepted into post-season play that anyone finishing above .500 is assured of making it to the play-offs. And the teams fighting for the last play-off spot are so poor that they are just fodder for the first round. In baseball, every team that gets in has a realistic shot at winning the whole shooting match. These things combine to make the end of the baseball season way more fun than the end of every other season.

Oh, and this just in: The White Sox, as always, suck.
