The St. Louis Cardinals enter the 2012 MLB season as World Series champions, but now, they also have the distinction of having a bull's-eye on their backs from the other 29 teams in the league. They used the efforts of Albert Pujols and the strategy of manager Tony LaRussa to help them to victory. Well, Pujols has left for the Los Angeles Angels and LaRussa has retired, symbolizing that this is a new year and anyone has a chance at taking home the Commissioner's Trophy in 2012.
Expectations are always high among fans who buy baseball tickets for teams like the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, but perhaps nowhere are expectations as high as they are at Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs. This offseason, the team signed Theo Epstein as their new President of Baseball Operations and fans have started scooping up Cubs tickets to see if Theo can break their World Series curse the same way he did in Boston. While 2012 may be rebuilding one for the Cubbies, that hasn't dampened the excitement from their fans.
Teams like the Rangers, Red Sox and Yankees in the American League, and the Phillies, Braves and Giants in National League all believe they will be playing in October, but young up-and-coming teams like the Rays, Nationals and Diamondbacks won't be intimidated. Make sure you follow your teams closely this year by getting your MLB tickets today at TicketNetwork.
