12 reasons you should be beyond stoked that baseball is back

Opening Day (stateside) is just five days away. Seriously. FIVE. DAYS. AWAY. Here are a dozen reasons to get excited.

Franks at Fenway, ivy at Wrigley and donut burgers at PNC.

You know, like Crush Davis.

Because the world needs more Jose Fernandez celebrations.

We can probably expect another Trout-esque catch in Anaheim this season.

RV livin', Mr. Potato Head modelin', hipster cool.

Can we get a Game 162 every year, please?

Can Cutch and Miggy repeat as 2014 MVP's? Who will have a better year? More importantly, who will have a better Call of Duty score?

MLB's crop of young talent is incredible with Mike Trout, Jose Fernandez, Bryce Harper and Yasiel Puig leading the way. Did we mention Puig? Yasiel Puig.

Yes, Giancarlo Stanton has power. But he also wants a ring, and he'll dance for it.

Dodgers-Giants, Cardinals-Reds, Yankees-Red Sox ... Will two new teams emerge this season?

All walkoffs are amazing, but especially when they're hit by a 42-year-old. Post-celebration speeches are also amazing -- we're looking at you, Muni.

How will Derek Jeter's career end? Nobody can say for sure -- but everyone will be watching. Everyone.
