What else can baseball fans do in January but dream of October? In You May Say I'm a Dreamer, the Outside Corner staff will imagine the route to a World Series in 2012 title for all 30 teams.
These dreamer pieces featured here at The Outside Corner have mostly come in the form of telling a story about how so-&-so team surprised everyone and won the World Series because so-&-so player did such a great job.

If after reading this article you absolutely aren’t convinced that the Miami Marlins don’t have the talent to make a run at the World Series, then I haven’t done my job as writer. Because the truth is, they are.
